This was my second guess, and a friend of mine brought his computer over and the problem is the actuator, they got it running enough to get to the shop, they are looking at it.... he thinks it's fixed, but i am probably going to have him throw a new actuator on it anyway.

The truck once it starts runs great all day, boost looks normal under acceleration, and with the jake on.... Figure replace actuator to make sure I don't have that problem out on the road. Luckily, the only time it has done this is when I am at home getting ready to head out....
