Your dealer should have mentioned this (GM has a letter to the dealers in regard to it).
Unplug your Ultra Gauge from the OBD, clear codes, and drive for a couple days and see if the problem returns. GM found that SOME electronics, plugged into the OBD port and driven normally with the item attached will do "strange things" to SOME of GM vehicles. Each electronic device has it's own symptoms with each and different, GM vehicle.
This was first discovered with some of the insurance company tattle tails. Those devices that were plugged into your OBD and supposedly would allow lower insurance rates (after downloading your driving habits). The problem gradually migrated to SOME (again) other devices.
Don't know if this will work for you, but it's worth a try. Hope it works.

There is a tsb for the 2006 07 and 08s for a stalling condition. It shows a potential wiring problem. Here is a thread that has the tsb in it.

There are no codes to clear, and there have not been any codes. When it is connected, it will warn me if there are any codes and will even let me know if there are any pending codes, but, there are no codes generated when this happens. I have even checked both pending and set codes and there are none. This is what I would expect though, because the cel only comes on when the engine shuts off (which it's supposed to do), and the cel goes off as soon as the engine comes back on. I wish there were codes because that might give me an idea of what's wrong.
