a couple weeks ago i replaced my fuel filter and made the mistake of buying one with a element attatched to the cap and it blew open going to dump my trailer, i lost all of my fuel and the truck started to smoke. after getting a oem cap, gaskets and filter there is a extreme shake under acceleration that doesnt go away until you hit 2000ish rpms. it also dumps smoke, it sounds like it wont let me turbo spool just bogs itself down and shakes and dumps smoke. checked codes and there was none, pulled hard codes and came up with the following codes( po238, po340, p1211,p1212,p1249,p1316) i have ran and refueled the truck a bunch since then as i thought it could be air in the system but it is still here. brand new everything in the front end besides axle, which looked new when i got it. fresh alignment and balances brand new tires with adequete lift no rubbing. my fuel gauge has also been pinned above (F) even though i know for sure i dont have that much fuel, i am stumped on this and worried about harming the truck running it without fixing whatever is wrong with it. where do i start

Hey @brooks7, man, what a headache to deal with after that fuel filter cap let go and you lost all your fuel. That's quite a list of codes it threw. Have you had a chance to look into that P0340 for the camshaft sensor at all? Sharing what you find there could give everyone a better idea of what's going on.
i just got a new camshaft sensor right now i just opened the box, will update later this evening once i reattactch my finger!

disconnect and clean every pigtail you can find under the hood. sounds like there is fuel contamination in one or multiple wiring connections.
