I had the same problem in my 04. might kept tell me it was cam then it went to crank. then after i replaced both them it started stalling.. this all happened. in a years time.. finally after it stalled and didn't want to start up. i said f++k this. sold the truck to a dealership. that's all i can tell u. 1 mechanical said the only thing he can say is tear the motor done and start testing sensers. and check cam and crank.

Does it run rough when the light kicks on?

not like its a bad cam sensor might run a little rough but not bad at all

4.7s are tricky for sure.... ill bet a failing crank sensor is causing the cam code... i had a 4.7 with a smilar prob kick my butt for a whole day. Cam and crank share a 5 volt and a ground and the pcm gets "confused" haha.

Keep us posted!
