see it has something to do with the light though when the light is on i dont have full boost, and when the light goes off it hits really hard and then it acts like it looses fuel and then hits really hard again not just a surge but doesnt stop until the light comes back on

Sounds like you are overboosting and then the truck is going into defuel.

Edit: With out a boost fooler of some sort when you get over 22lbs of boost the truck sets a code and then de-fuels.

Pull your codes, I would bet you have a ICP code 1211.

The light is his SES light.

At this point you need to read your codes.

Is it directly left of the E on the fuel gauge? Also do you have a manual for the truck?

Check this site out if you don't, you can get a PDF, should be on page 10.
