You are right with the Cam shaft. The code is "Cam Shaft Sensor Intermittent". Could possibly be your sensor is going bad.

Do you have a intermitten starting issues? Does the engine die randomly? If so the sensor is going bad. Its simple to change, one bolt and a connector. Should run about $30 or so usd.

Edit:

Borg Warner CSS635. We sell it for $24.99. Its mounted on the passengers side towards the front, looks like its on the under side of the valve cover.

if it's easy to swap out it's probably worth the $25 to not lose your truck for a whole day to the dealer.
