What causes overboost?
My 04/04 was at a body repair center for 5 weeks. After pick the truck up it had no boost so I drove it to the dealership for repair. They replace the EGR and I was good to go. On the way home a couple of times it had no boost or very slow to boost and this problem would last only 5 to 10 seconds. So when I was have not issues I unplugged the EGR and it has ran fine with no boost problems.
The week I was pulling my 11k 5th wheel on rolling mountain and 2 times the boost reading went to 40. I have never had it over 32 WOT pulling the 5th wheel. Is there a problem and if so what.
The truck is completely stock. Thanks.

I'm with Catalina, sounds like the vanes in your turbo are sticking. You mentioned that your truck was in the shop for 5 weeks. It's not uncommon for corrosion to build up in the turbo when left idle for extended periods. This could be the case in your circumstance.
