Dang! Your body work / metal work is highly Impressive! To keep the repair area as a minimum and even get the roll correct. Nice job! I should get you out here to wave your magic wand on my body work for Beast.

Low pressure light - ISSPro EV2 programmable Fuel Pressure gauge.

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.

Sorry but that appears to be modified. I would look at another Dodge in possibly a wrecking yard or in a parking lot. Just some of the parts look wrong or welded. @IBMobile i know has a Auto and maybe get a photo of your linkage sir?

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.

Super cool looking wood for the floor of the bed. That's going to be a sweet looking ride? Any paint information available yet? Photos?

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

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.

Only had one output speed sensor to replace in 22 years of doing this. Rare but yeah does happen.

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.

Oh ill find it for sure. I've got the gift of gab. I can always talk to some one and get it.

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.

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.

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. More on the different series of 24V... https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/swapping-vp44-cummins-engine-between-985-00-01-02-r429/?do=getNewComment&d=4&id=429

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

Looks like a good little shift kit. Pay attention to the drill locations.

2025 Ram 1500 with the 6 cylinder engine is tearing up con rod bearings. Quality is gone in some things.

Thank you for the kind words. Personally I'm looking for people that are willing to write articles about repairs and information on repairing these trucks. Im going to move forward into 3rd Gen to put Thor at the top of the focus. I need to expand knowledge into newer generations. A lot of info is trapped in my head and needs to get put into HTML5 code for all to see and learn from. Thanks for the comment.

Interesting, I found that my network is viewable directly over the Omada App. Like today, I'm down in Boise with @Tweety Bird and I started playing with my phone. Sure enough, my network is viewable from my cellphone. I'm going to do some experiments on this and see if i could bind a URL to my home server; and port forward to the world wide web, possibly. At this point, I could very well create a Private Cloud for our own use as I travel for medical reasons and be able to handle all the website needs without being home. Still wondering if I could complete a port forward say 22 and 80 out to the web. Time to get crafty.
