Default Truck almost dies then catches itself

When driving down the road the truck acts like its going to die then it catches itself and stays running. It came up with codes PO603, PO344, PO470. Would those be from the Crank Position Sensor?

P0603-Keep alive memory... Thats from clearing your codes... Nothing to worry about.

P0344- CMP sensor... There is a CPS code...

P0470- EBP sensor fail... Your EBP tube is plugged up or your sensor is plugged or unplugged... Not the cause of your issue, but should be fixed.

Sounds line you have a bad CPS. Have you had the recall done?

Nope I have the envelope on my center console guess Ill call and get it done. I was looking at getting one of the plugs that bypasses the EBP Sensor and then this summer putting in the non waste gated exhaust housing. Would you recommend that option?

I would not. I would fix your EBP sensor and tube. It is used in tuning.
