Your cam sensor is bad.
Is your truck a 3.7l?
There the worst for cam sensor problems.
Do have problems starting or does your truck die from time to time?
heres a pic i took a while ago at work.
I think it mounted on the underside of the passenger side valve cover.

its 1 10mm bolt. its on the bottom of the passenger side, toward the front of the valve cover. real easy to replace. I just did one on my truck because it tossed a code. took maybe 5 minutes, from opening the box and getting tools (I used a small ratchet and a 4 inch extension with a deep well socket), to getting the old one out and the new one in... if you have the CEL when you start back up, reset the computer.
