would the cam shaft positioning sensor be the cause of the bucking?

Yes, absolutely, without a doubt. The 1211 code won't give you any noticeable difference in the way the truck runs. It's just saying your HPOP can't provide enough oil to fire the injectors as the tuner is calling for.

Get the free recall done to fix the bucking problem.

For the A/C start the truck, turn the A/C on max and the fan on high. Open the hood and go out and wiggle the wire connection at the top back of the compressor...or is it front...Just wiggle the wire connector and watch the A/C clutch to see if it engages, and disengages with the wiggle. If it does, pm me and I'll tell you how to fix it.

i tried that didnt engage but then i ran a test lead from the battery to the plug and the air blows cold as ever but when i plug it back in it doesnt work and i checked the wiring and relays and they all seem fine but let me set this all up for you, i bought the truck wrecked and everything worked fine put the new cab and box on and painted it then when done the 4x4 didnt work then i drove it for prolly 4 months then all of a sudden the ac quits working so i cant figure out what the heck is going on

Sounds like an under dash problem, I guess you have auto hubs?
