that code is for turbo charge solenoid circuit malfunction, and has he cycled the key and left the lift pump cycle, his lift pump may have died on him, they are prone to do that on the 03-ealry o4 models cause they are mounted on the back of the fuel filter canister, so it has to pull instead of push, lots of strain...

crank the truck over while tapping on the fuel pump. if it starts or tries to start, you have a bad lift pump. just my .02
