    What's up guys, so I just picked my truck up after having URD Spec-U headers, URD MAF cal, the smaller 2.8 pulley, and a new fuel pump/system from URD installed. From the sound of it everything went on fine. The shop test drove it last night and it seems there is an issue with the VSC.

    There is no CEL that pops up and when the truck first starts there's no VSC issue. When they started to go and kinda step on it a little, I'm assuming the moment it looses traction, the VSC will come on and beep and stay on. All throttle response is gone until they come to a stop and turn the VSC off. The VSC malfunction light is on as well.

    I know they had to disconnect the steering shaft to install the headers, and when they put it back on to go straight the steering wheel had to be all the way to the left. They fixed that issue but the truck definitely still needs an alignment.

    I have to the truck now. After looking at some potential causes, it could be a multitude of things. Anywhere from the MAF not being properly wired (again no CEL has popped up), to the VSC needing to be recalibrated or a wire somewhere that's cut/frayed. Also, the map on the MAF might be blank, I need to find out from URD if they preprogrammed it with my mods.

    I'm just looking for any opinions from somebody that's gone through something similar before. Thanks!

    re-calibrate VSC first, it knows or should know exactly where the steering is at all times, and it lost track of that based on what you described, and now it doesn't match the gyroscope readings...

    then worry about the URD electrics second
