scan scan scan and scan.
sounds like a valve cover harness to me too, but a snap on solus will tell you exactly whats wrong.
you cant just throw parts at a powerstroke.
when was the last oil change?
when was the last fuel filter change?

tjctransport, thanks for the reply yes I checked the UVCH everything looked good.
idioit thanks, I have checked UVCH last oil change was about 10 miles/2 weeks ago, did a fuel filter last night
I did notice today at work I let it run at about 2000 rpms until the CEL came on and it ran rough I just left it thinking maybe I was getting a air bubble when hot and about after 15 minutes of 2000 rpms the CEL went off and truck would rev and sounded great again went to test drive so I could put a load on it and as soon as I backed up about 10 feet put it drive went maybe 2 feet CEL came back on and rough running again, pulled back into parking spot and let sit the rest of the day got off work startet headed home ran great and as soon as the needle moved off cold CEL on and limped it home
thanks for any help

Get a scan tool and see what your IPR and ICP info is, may have a hydraulic leak or something. You could also rebuild your IPR ($20 for seals), or get a new one, my truck has trouble starting when hot, trying to fix that issue currently.

Well thanks for all the help, when the truck first acted up I did the .50 cent trick to the UVCH and it didn't work after throwing everything at it and finally posting here and hearing back from the first 2 guys I decided to recheck the UVCH I got the truck hot it failed CEL came on I unplugged the UVCH at the vale cover and nothing changed ran down to the local parts store and picked one up for the driver side for 76 bucks, just finished the install and drove the truck farther than it has been drivin in 6 months actually got up to temp ran threw all programmer settings no CEL,
again THANK YOU for the help.
