Thank you both for the good info. I'll make sure to post my results in order to save other people some time with this issue. It has really been a pain in the rear. It's 5 O'clock! Thanks Again!

It's a piece of cake fix. Disconnect neg battery cable. Drop the alternator bracket and unbolt/unplug the old OCV, you'll need to give it a little twist then it will slide right out. New one goes in the same way, bolt up, re bolt alternator bracket....done.

With that code I believe there was only two real options, OCV or camshaft gear...thank goodness it wasn't camshaft gear.
