Try disconnecting the battery to reset everything and see if that does the trick. Usually works from what I have learned on here.

Done! Already and nothing kinda made me start from 0 :/

It must be a sign then, the truck does not want you to sell it.

You gotta keep driving. Completing the drive cycle requires completing a good size list of tests. Don't keep resetting it / disconnecting the battery, all that does is make you start over.

EDIT: Glad to see you got it set up. I had to drive the G8 over the course of several weeks along with locking the doors at night to get it to complete.

I had to do all of this with my G8. It is a pain in the butt. If you park in a garage, lock your doors anyway, it plays into it.

I had a full writeup on this as I had the same problem.

a question - is it just the tune or did you do headers as well? on mine, the wonderful folks who installed it dropped an O2 sensor and it got a hairline crack in it, after I had it replaced and drove 50 miles it worked great.

if you have stock headers, pretty much ignore this.
