good luck let us know what happens. another thing i thought of, if you get a chance you may want to take it by an "autozone" or "checkers auto parts" and have them scan it to see if there are any codes stored, that may give you a better idea what is going on

one question on if a code is stored, would it show a light ''check engine soon'' or
''service engine soon'' before it would throw a code? I have thought about taking
it in, but ya know how time just runs away from you, hehe. Thanks

Right...there most likely will be a PO603 code stored, but that's not anything to worry about, nor would it affect how the truck runs.
Never hurts to check though, unless you are paying somebody $70.00 to hook it up just to find nothing.

When the EBP sensor fails, the PCM simply disables the exhaust backpressure system with the valve in the open position, no effect on normal operation, other than cold weather idle.
Similar situation with the wastegate control system. When it fails the wastegate just will not open, which as we all know will improve the engines performance.
Not sure why the cam sensor often fails to trigger the SES, it should. Maybe there just isn't enough time from the signal loss to the engine dying to trip the light.

well I unhooked my ebpv yesterday, seems to drive easier. But since im going to sell
her before to long, i'm probably not gonna get the pcm scanned, even tho it should
be done, lol.
