07' 6.0 starting issues

Ill start from the beginning...
About 1,500 miles ago I had $20k worth of work done to my tank.
Head studs
Plugged EGR
Mad turbo werks stage 3
190# 100% nozzle injectors
Hurculese FICM
SCT livewire custom tuned
Air dog II fuel kit
4.30 gears front and rear
5 in. Stainless strait pipe with a Y into duels
Detroit locker
Full trans rebuilt with all billit to hold HP
Right after I got the truck back the transmission failed. It was a 1 in a million problem. The main ground on the chassis lost connection and it started grounding inside of the transmission. Had to spend another 7 grand because it wasn't the mechanics fault.
Over the last week I've noticed that when I put the truck in park and switch it off it'll bump forward so slightly you can barely notice it. Well I shut it off at a drive-thru the other night and it wouldn't crank back up. I assumed that it was the starter so i put a new one on. Still nothing so I put the old one back on. After searching all over the net I saw someone with similar problems and someone told him to look behind the vacuum pump and there is a yellow and black wire with a quick connect. He said to unhook the wire and touch it to the positive terminal and see if it tries to crank. Well I did all of this with my key switched on and BAM my truck cranks and runs! So all day if I had to drive somewhere I had to turn my key and stick this wire to my battery. On the post I read it didn't work for the guy so they didn't explain anymore of it..

Can anyone tell me what is going on and how I can fix it?? Thanks in advanced and sorry for the long post.

Hey bud sorry to hear of your truck's problems. What about the neutral safety switch. Also if there is an aftermarket alarm system I would take a look there.
