Help 06 5.4 engine trouble when using tunes

Hey guys,
I have had my gryphon tuner in my 06 f150 5.4 3V for about three months now. The problem is, when I set one of the custom tunes in the computer, the engine runs good for about a day to two days and out of no where I'll be driving and it starts running extremely rough. It almost sounds like its missing some cylinders and this happens while I'm driving. When this happens, I pull over and return it back to the stock tune. After that it runs fine. What is going on and what can I do to fix this problem? It is very annoying. Thanks for your help.

Which custom tune is causing it? Are you having trouble with a similar custom tune? If you have set it back to stock, did the problem reappear? If so, how long did it take?

Sounds like it could be a mechanical issue giving out since you aren't having trouble until a day or two after loading the custom tune.
