Valve lash
Remember there is a very wide allowance. Like exhaust is 0.015 to 0.030 or intake is 0.006 to 0.015 are conidered normal.

Ram air intake
Food for thought. When tuning for efficiency like myself less boost is better. More boost pressure more you are unlocking fuel to flow. This will in turn create lower EGTs and cooler running engine. Even with Beast at 500 HP it cruise at 82 MPH in 5th gear at mere 2,500 RPMs but keep boost below 10 PSI and EGTs at 700°F. At slower 65 MPH I'm right at 2,000 RPM but EGTs drop to 550°F and boost of barely 1 to 2 PSI.

2006 Dodge Ram 3500 - Thor Project
We have a W or Win today. The injectors came back from @dieselautopower and were test out as a set again. I'll post up the flow rate report when I get back to the shop to grab the paper, which is a bit torn up. I'll post the flow rates. I install exactly to spec on everything for torque and process. Fired up smoked a bit of white, but very shortly cleared up and ran smooth. Yup, Diesel Auto Power did find 2 injectors with issues and been repaired again. Mark and I got the tail lights rigged up on the tail of the frame and my license plate. I took off to town for a bit of joy ride. Thor ran great. Idle is exactly 800 RPM and the fuel rail pressure settles at about 800 PSI swing from open to close with injectors. No grid heater light. No dinging bell. Easy start and been consistent. My trip to town I visited two friends with Thor and then stopped by the grocery store for a jug of milk. Each stop very easy starting and no smoke at all. Now with the bed and that huge front bumper off this truck is quick. It can climb to 80 MPH very easy without the extra 2,800 pounds of steel flat bed and bumper off. Even the Fuel Mileage rose today for the first time being its on it way up towards high 16 MPH which it never done much better than 13 to 14 MPG. Yes the over sized injectors foul the trip the computer so its off by about -2 MPG roughly.

2006 Dodge Ram 3500 - Thor Project
This is not exactly true. It the fact the Cummins released all ECM control to Mopar / FCA. Your dealers are only focused on sending people to their dealer. What about myself a mechanic looking for technical information about repairing say vehicle? Nope! This is the part that is screwed up is the fact I'm a LLC business and hired by my client or my own vehicle in my shop I should not be forced into the dealer. I did learn that Feb 2012 there was a update to Thor's firmware at some point in the past that added the grid heater light and error codes to the ECM. If you are looking for the error codes in the 2006 FSM it will not exist being that information was released in Feb. 2012.

Interresting... I didn't really pay attention to that detail.

10,000th "no bus" thread
Look over on the CCD network article and test the CCD+ CCD- pins to ground. After the computers stop talking it should be 2.49 and 2.51 volts.

Sounds like a winner for the W-T ground wire mod.

All I can say is don't call either Cummins or Dodge dealers because they will not help you. They will request the truck be brought to their shop for repair even though you tell them your already a diesel repair shop and just need information. Cummins Care - (800) 286-6467 Dodge Corporate - (800) 334-9200 Remember ECM stuff is all Dodge corporate and will not get any information for and Cummins electronics.

New added Verizon Extender
Now I've got a 4G LTE cell tower here at my place. Its barely a 0.1 Watt extender but the signal reaches out the office area quite well. Internet Provided by Starlink / Space X Cell service provided by Verizon Network Provided by TP-Link (ER605 Gateway and SG2428 Managed Switch) WiFi Provided by TP-Link (EAP225) Shared Network Printer (MF4150 Cannon Laser Printer) Ubuntu 24.04 Linux Operation System 1 TB Hard drive for storage Picture below of the new Verizon Extender and its now fired up and providing 4G LTE service across my property. Then had to share my server cabinet. It's slowly coming together now. Now have a network shared printer off my server that all of us can access and use from any device including printing documents from a cellphone too.

2006 Dodge Ram 3500 - Thor Project
So the last run i was getting P0301 code for misfire cylinder 1 which you could hear clearly. Not to mention it was my repaired terminal injector. Back out all 6 injectors came out again and I got @dieselautopower Lenny is going to bench test them again. See if we can get Thor to run right without all the grid heater chimes. Refused to hold prime too. im going to call around and find the answers to the grid heater chimes and what they mean. Im going to find it and be the first website with the info. No more grid heater might means injector replacement but understand the difference in chime count.

Manual swap ecm/pcm desperation
YES! Then you need the proper software on both ECM and PCM and everything works out fine.

Contact @Auto Computer Specialist and they can flash program both ECM and PCM for manual software and get the right software for your application to reduce the weirdness.

10,000th "no bus" thread
You could look towards @Auto Computer Specialist which is listed in our vendor listing... They can do PCM and ECM repairs. If the cluster is damaged then that can be handled by Module Masters in Moscow Idaho. https://mopar1973man.com/vendor.htm/vendor/auto-computer-specialist-r5/?do=getNewComment&d=7&id=5
