While in park my truck will surge to rpms of 2000-2500,if the throttle is tapped, and will not stop until it is put into gear or shut off. It also does this while going down hills. I have replace the transfer pump, the pressure was low, now that I have the right fuel pressure the problem is worse. any ideas

If you have it set back to stock, and it is still throwing the overboost code, the most likely culprit is your turbocharger wastegate. At the dealer the wastegate comes with the turbo. So probably you will be installing a new turbo to get rid of that code.
The technicians at the dealer get paid very little to make the repairs under warranty. If they find a way to make it go customer pay they get paid 2 times as much or more. Replacing a turbo under warranty is the worst. It only pays about 2 hours and it takes 4 or 5 hours to do if you are fast.
If you have taken it to your local dealer and they have seen your Bully dog performance system then take it to another dealer that hasnt seen it.
Good Luck.
The best advise I could give you is something that probably wont be covered under any warranty. You could have the pinion angle adjusted so it is correct when the truck is unloaded. Then you could have some air bags installed on the rear suspension so you can lift the back of the truck back to the unloaded level when it is loaded. Airbags are nice caus you can tune the air pressure to the amount of load you have.
It is amazing to me working at a shop , the amount of problems that could be fixed by explaining stuff to the customer with out ever raising a wrench on the truck. Unfortunately the mechanic who is working on your truck is not who you generally talk to. You generally talk to the service adviser, who in most cases doesnt know anything about cars and trucks. Half the time we dont get the whole storry or correct complaint that the customer made on the work order.

Be sure to check fuel emergency shutdown solenoids and sensors. he thinks that after a while they can go bad on you. he had trouble like that with his truck after he got into an accident, like the damage messed with those components especially.
Thanks,

I love the truck but after a new vacuum pump, turbo, egr, and multiple flash updates I am getting a little tired of seeing my dealer.
Thanks for any help.
even at above 100 degree weather. Have you checked your coollant or had it flushed. Also check your hoses maybe you have one that is collapsing.
