Not sure what you mean by tune, but a newer vehicle will drive/run differently after the battery is disconnected and the ECM is reset, it will take a few drive cycles to relearn certain things.

I had my truck professionally tuned by a friend at Carolina Speed Shop; so if the computer completely loses power it reverts back to its original state? If so, would that mean that the things he changed would be lost?

As far as the spark plugs, I used autolite 5245s which is also a suitible sub for the AC Delco.

I will try the battery and if that doesn't work I will go to the spark plugs and change them out. ingers crossed it will fix the problem.

I forgot in my first post that the engine is 5.3l vortec.

That happens to me twice. I have a 2001 silverado . First time I had dropped one of my plugs and didn't think to check it before I put it in.So when the plug hit the ground it closed the gap and caused a mistake fire when it was running. Took me a week an a half ti figure that one out. And the second time I over tightened one and cracked the porcelain on the plug.hope this helps..
