    Well, got a CEL. Thought it was something to do with the OV tune at first.

    Popped my hood and found a whoooole wack of hedge trimmings along with some plastic and pieces of a nerf bullet. Soo I’m leaning towards a mouse or a rat.

    Truck runs fine in the short time I drove it. It did take a while to start once so far.
    Anyone dealt with this before? I’ve checked as best I can for any wires chewed but I don’t see any.

    Can someone point me in the right direction to the cam position sensor? According to my research this is what the CEL is.

    Dare I take it to the dealer with the OV tune or should I flash back to stock?

    Currently trying to locate where it is.

    I believe there is two and one is easily accessible but I can’t seem to find the other
