If you had the fuel map changed, and the software is not OEM anymore, then there's so many variables as to what can be affecting it now. Do you have a scan tool that can read live engine data?
So, if you had an ECM tune, what that can do is cause the fuel injector pulse to be longer than the OEM spec for the truck. And these trucks on cold start up go into a dual-pulse mode, so it's firing the fuel injectors twice at each ignition cycle because a colder vehicle requires more fuel at start up. The manufacturers want to get the truck to operating temperature as fast as possible for emissions reasons. So, the tune could be flooding out the engine, especially if you have ignition coils that are not performing at their peak.
GM does have "clear flood mode" I believe. So, you can try holding the gas pedal to the floor and it should shut down the fuel injectors. This is in case of a flooded-out engine issue. We use this for testing sometimes when we don't want the injectors to fire, but if it's flooding out and the spark plugs are getting wet, try holding the pedal to floor and crank it over.
As for the scan tool data if you have that. I would be interested in seeing what the Long-Term and Short-Term Fuel trims are at Idle.
Did you have the catalytic converters removed? If not, they might have melted down and restricted your exhaust.
To check that take out the front Oxygen sensors and see if it runs better, if the cats are melted down and restricting the exhaust, this will allow that pressure to escape.
I would also recommend pulling a few spark plugs and seeing what they look like.
To me if the converters weren't removed during the tune. Which they shouldn't be, it sounds like it might have a restricted exhaust.
So there's a few things to check.
1. Spark plugs.
2. If you can take out a front oxygen sensor or both front ones.
3. Live Scan tool data if you have one.
4. Hold the gas pedal to the floor. Try to start it.
You can do these in whatever order you want, it doesn't matter.
And can you tell me the codes you go for the throttle body and any other codes? The code numbers specifically.
There is also a Technical Service Bulletin on coolant entering the cylinders, I'll post that below.
