Default Victory! But showing one code...

Fired up my truck today finally!! Ran it for awhile, shut it down, topped off the rad and took it for a short test-drive. Sounds like it's running good but got a code
- P0013 - Exhaust Cam Position Actuator Open Circuit - Bank 1
What sensor is this? What should I check to fix this?
Thanks

I'm not gonna go cut/pasting, so check THIS out. I think it might help.

The first thing I would do is reset the PCM by unhooking the battery terminals and touching them together for 10seconds. Yes touch pos-neg once both are unhooked from the battery. This is the best reset method. You may have an initial spark with the..no worries, it's the internal capacitors discharging. Pulling a fuse may not do the trick. I suppose you could try pulling the appropriate fus at first so you don't lose your radio presets.

Read the attachment, checked the oil and reset the PCM, put some miles on it and no code yet! Only thing left now is to pull off the Structural dust cover and work with the gasket so it stops rubbing on the flywheel

Haven't driven it much, but no codes so far.
Pulled off the structural dust cover, it doesn't look like the gasket is rubbing on the flywheel, but running the truck it is definitely coming from the torque converter area. I'm stumped as to what the noise is
