What sensor??
Can someone tell me what the name of the sensor or whatever it is that on a stock 5.0 truck is... Its right by the throttle body and has a vacuum port with a line that goes into the throttle body.. What is it and what's it do?

It is called the Canister Purge (CANP) solenoid.
Fuel Tank Venting
Fuel vapors trapped in the sealed fuel tank are vented through the orificed vapor valve assembly in the top of the tank. The vapors leave the valve assembly through a single vapor line and continue to the carbon canister (located in the engine compartment or along the frame rail) for storage until they are purged to the engine for burning.
Canister Purging
Purging the carbon canister removes the fuel vapor stored in the carbon canister. With an EEC controlled EVAP system, the flow of vapors from the canister to the engine is controlled by a Canister Purge (CANP) solenoid, Dual Canister Purge (CANP) solenoids or Vapor Management Valve (VMV) . Purging occurs when the engine is at operating temperature and off idle.

But that sensor that in front of the egr is what I'm talking bout.. When my truck was stock it had a hose from the vacuum port that ran into the throttle body right in between it
