Need more info... The ECM if its not booting up the wait to start will not come on nor will the engine start. If the ECM circuit for the lift pump is burned up it will not supply power. This is why most switch over to FASS or AirDog and get the protection relay so the power is supplied by a relay and not the ECM. If your lift pump plugs directly into the ECM plug then its very possible for the ECM lift pump circuit to be burnt by a shorted lift pump. We have those in stock...

Neat and interesting...

If you can I would. Might get a few hose timers and set up two different watering systems. Then I would set it up to water in the night. Run one for a few hours and swap to the second one and run for a few hours.

Still running stock valve springs on the Beast.

75w-90 would be a good lube for G56.

Just need a quality head gasket and at least ARP 425 studs. I'm pretty close but have a smaller turbo. (60/60/12). The only thing you can do is pull the head and have the head checked for cracks then surfaced flat again. You might have the valves, guides and seals looked at. Oh, welcome to the family.

Sorry... Personally I'm going to switch away from the ATF and look for a true GL-4 trans fluid.

Heck I've got a neighbor that wants to sell his truck for starting price of 25,000 for a 2001 Dodge. Bit high in my book but the amount of monies invested is quite large.

I remember my old Southbend Con OFE use to have gear rollover noise till I changed from stock 75w-85 trans fluid to Mobil 50 SAE trans fluid. As for the G56 it's still running ATF+4. Even that doesn't have the gear rollover.

I'm assuming this is all the high pressure rail pressure being what the display says. I would consider the pop off valve as a replacement maybe its sticking in the open side?

@Rogan got you covered.

Nope, no roll over noise at all no the 2002 or 2006 trucks. Mobil 50 SAE gear lube in the Nv4500 in the 2002 Dodge. ATF+4 fluid in the G56 in the 2006 Dodge.

I've never used Boss before but pretty common on Amazon. Their price is low but I'm not sure about quality. Does cover most of what I'm looking for. https://www.amazon.com/Boss-Audio-Systems-BV9358B-Player/dp/B01FC3SPPG/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=dual+din+car+stereo+bluetooth+android&qid=1626011384&refinements=p_89%3ABOSS+Audio+Systems&rnid=2528832011&s=electronics&sr=1-5

Might work for driving long haul... Still in all does nothing for resolving the music end. I would like to be at a job site leave the door open and listen to tunes while I work instead of packing a portable speaker or headsets to listen to music while I work. The LG tone and talk headset again just not very loud for volume but then they fall off me neck while working. Here what I've used so far. Yeah my last stereo I did in Beast was a bluetooth and FM only stereo. That kind of sucked being you had to keep a large amount of MP3s on the cell phone and no function to play MP3 disc which I've got a lot or play normal Audio CD's which Eileen has a lot of too. Everything I do for supply runs is a minimum of 6 to 7 hours of driving. Like going to Lewiston ID its only 125 miles there but with road construction and traffic it like a 3 hour trip now one way. Then do about 4 hours to 5 hours of shopping and then drive another 3 hours home again. Currently, all I have is Thor (2006 Dodge 3500) to drive but I'm working on getting the the Beast (2002 Dodge 2500) back up and going. Got a few things to fix again.

Thanks I'll take a peek at that too.

2006 Dodge 3500 - Valair Quiet Dual Disc Towing Clutch 2002 Dodge 2500 - Valair Performance Dual Disc Clutch The design differences is the Quiet clutch does not have a loose free floating center plate. It actually attached to spring metal. The performance clutch does not have this so it louder in my 2002 Dodge versus the 2006 Dodge. The 2002 Dodge has a floating center disc that can rattle and make noises.

Thor (2006 Dodge 3500) has a G56 transmission is a rowing machine. Even with the ATF+4 in the gear box it not loud at all. I just hate to row 4 gears to get to 25 MPH. Pushing 10,000 pounds on the scale. Tends to stall easy launching from 2nd gear on a slight slope. Valair Quiet Towing Dual Disc Clutch. No worse that the Kenworth 4,000 gallon water tender (Cummins Big Cam 400 with a Eaton Fuller 10 speed) that you have to row 7 gears to get to 25 MPH. Still to this day love my NV4500 in Beast (2002 Dodge 2500), row 2 gears I'm at 25 MPH in 4th gear. Launch in 2nd gear and by 4th (1:1) I'm pulling away gaining speed now. This even has the other Valair Performance Dual Disc Clutch. Slight design differences but the same.

Yeah I'm looking for something more like the Kenwood I got for my 2002. That stereo is dual Bluetooth so driver and a passenger can pair there phones at the same time and use the stereo functions together. For me and the amount of road time I have I need a good stereo that is Bluetooth ready. I get way too many phone calls to have to pull over talk, hang up and get rolling again. Most of the time I just ignore the phone calls being there is no where to pull over to answer or the signal will be lost soon like in the next mile or so. I've been using Bluetooth headset (LG tone and talk) for now but volume is too low to hear with all the other noises in the cab. Again I've got to pull over to just hear the conversation. As for dual DIN stereos there is a lot of other brand name that look like China made junk like Boss and others but I'm not willing to dive into another junk stereo again. I would prefer a Android core for the stereo but something that is modern for Android version also should be update-able. What good is it to have a stereo that becomes out of date in a year or so and have to replace because the Android core is out of date?

@Rogan Just a side story I ran into last week. I have a 2002 Ford Mustang that came to me and I replaced 3 power steering pumps in 3 days. The first one I installed was here at the house and the fluid started returning dark. I start to do the flushing of the system must of dumped about 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon through that system. Topped it off and the owner took it home. Got a call later that afternoon that the reservoir was empty and the pump was growling. Ordered pump #2 and installed. This was done at the owners home. Now filled it up and worked all the air out again. Took it for a short driver out of the court he lives in and blew the return line. OK. Return back and installed hose clamps instead of the quickie squeeze clamps. Continued to blow return lines. I started to point fingers at the pressure regulator in the pump for being stuck wide open. Order pump #3 and installed. Again at the owners home no longer blowing the return lines but now know why the fluid is being lost. I was filling and purging air everything seemed fine. Started doing short drives just a bit lower on fluid when I returned. Figured just air. Now take off again but went full lock to back out. When I did it blew huge amount of fluid out as I started to pull away. On return I seen the trail and parked it and started looking and found the rack and pinion boot on the passenger side is torn and fluid dripping out. So this week I start with installing a rack and pinion in a Ford Mustang. How Fun... NOT!

Makes me wanna look at mine closer... I've been able to push the shift tip between the gates in the NV4500 transmission. I've downshifted and had it jam up at least 4 times stuck in 4th gear. The shift forks are different than NV5600 but the wear problem might be the same. Being I've got mine still tore down to the shift tower I can look at it and re-silicone the tower back on too.

Glad to hear! I'm happy you found a solution to this problem.

You could by those online somewhere...

Super good idea...
