I'll check/clean the sensors when I get a chance. Intake and air filter are aftermarket, and I just put a brand new air filter in 3k miles ago. Both fuel filters changed with OEM 3k miles ago. EGR valve is deleted. I'm not sure that my truck has a MAF...
The truck runs great, and the response I'm getting at higher boost levels could just be how the tuning is. I'll probably stick it back to stock setting and see if it reacts differently.

I was really hoping Mike he didn't say Aftermarket air cleaner
, off of the air piping do you see a black box about 3"x2" with power running to it ? , let's hope your turbo is not getting all gritted up, the Donaldson factory air filter and box is by far safer finer filtered to keep your turbo from large dirt/ dust particle .

The previous owner put an AFE stage 2 intake on it.
I drove it with stock tuning and it's definitely just the performance tune. I guess I'm just not used to the power this truck puts out vs other trucks I've driven.

This truck with just a tuner, intake, and exhaust is MUCH more fun to drive than my dad's 24 valve cummins with the same upgrades, and much nicer than my Duramax work truck. I find the Dodge interiors uncomfortable and the Chevy just feels cheap.
