do you have a lift pump on the truck?

with a moded pump on a stock truck it can surge at idle there will have some recalibrations that have to be done.

check for leaks at the filter housing also

O ring kit should solve the prime issue, but a good percentage of guys who put on modded pumps have to tune the surge out.

yup, if you have a problem surging monitor your rail pressure at idle with efi live, if you have it

Probably getting the code due to the pump. If the computer is seeing irregular pressure and is trying to account for it with the regulator it's probably popping the code thinking something is wrong. Sounds to me like you need to tune idle pressure with EFILive or call whoever's programmer you're running and see if they'll tune for the larger pump.
