It could be a failed wastegate solenoid, or it could be nothing. Drive it and see if the code pops back up again. If it continues to pop up, then you have a problem. If not, then it was probably just a one time random thing. Every now and then I get weird codes that pop up on my truck too, but I erase them and they never happen again.

Are you running any sort of tuner on your truck? The P1249 is a common code for those of us running some kind of tuner.

There is your answer. Its perfectly normal to set the P1249. Sometimes it will even trigger the SES light. If it gets too annoying, sell the superchips tuner and order a DP tuner with the "codes" tunes.

Absolutely! But yeah, get used to the 1249. You may also see a 1211 here and there.
