Hopefully this is the right place to post this.
I have an intermittent CEL that shows up about 50% of the time.
Does anyone know what this could be?

Let's ask @DRD.
Failing stock turbo.

What would cause it to fail so fast?
Only 60k miles on the truck.
I was getting the code before the tune, so if it’s failing it was failing before then.
Poor luck.
Stock turbo electronics can fail with just a few thousand miles as others never give any trouble.
It's just what happens when electronics are subjected to a harsh environment.

Thanks for the help!
So, should I be replacing the boost control module? Or the turbo? Or do I just bite the bullet and take it to a shop? If it’s just replacing a control module I’d like to tackle it myself, something more complicated maybe not....
You can try replacing just the actuator, but that's a hit and miss proposition and requires a high end scan tool to calibrate it.
Your best bet is taking it to a shop for a estimate and then decide.
