I was going to make a new post, but I was not sure it was related to not changing the Cam phasers. So, responding here.
Anyway, I had the Cam Phasers rattle for a while, keep putting it off didn't have another vehicle at the time. Then my Truck started at high speeds 80+ or going up steep hills or towing something heavy doing what I would call a "turbo surge". It's like if you keep pressing and letting off the gas and you could see the Turbos gauge moving up and down. (Side to side I guess on the cluster). The truck was also acting like you were moving your foot up and down on the gas pedal.
My Mechanic buddy said something about the cam phasers and timing and that was messing up the controller for the turbos making them surge like that? I had him ride with me. Sorry I don't speak Mechanic.
Anyway, I took in to have the Cam Phasers done told them about the turbo problem and they said it could be related to the Cam Phasers but would look at it. They replaced the Cam phasers, and it looks like it fixed it. 4K miles in and my truck runs great. No Turbo surging.
