Boost Level with Quad
Without a boost elbow it's not going to build more boost.

06 crew dually build thread
The only reason for a DOR front end is because running over sized tire be aware that oversized tire will alter the finally ratio and might create other issues. As for the transmission I would talk to @Dynamic for transmission upgrades he's a pro at handling 46RE, 47Re and 48RE transmissions. Like my 2006 Dodge I've got to pull the 2 inch leveling kit out to correct the suspension. Thor is my 2006 Dodge 3500 but single rear wheel.

Flaggers
Here is my latest I just seen 2 days ago. Waiting to pass through a construction zone. I finally get to the flagger and he's got the paddle in front of his face. Which seems odd. After I past him and look back in the mirror he was texting on his phone not even aware of the traffic. Really a lot of stupid people.

Lift Pump Bypass for VP44 Trucks?
The check valve inside is a harden steel ball bearing on a spring. The seat of where its at in the pump is just cast aluminum. After a period of time that steel ball check valve will beat the seat to death till its in constant bypass producing no pressure. I've found at least 3 pumps in my years where the steel ball was found jammed in the vanes of the pump. Kind of like the old P-pump check valve the banjo was made of softer steel and the steel check ball will beat the seat out if till most of the fuel is running out the return.

Low boost, no boost leaks
Yup @Me78569built his own VGT controller. Worked rather good...

Boost Level with Quad
Did you install a boost elbow to hold the waste gate back longer? Stock turbo will come short at about 20 to 25 PSI tops.

Flaggers
Yup. I spent two days call different agencies to report this. I found that there is hundreds of complaints about flagger screw ups. This information can from the New Meadows ITD office. She could of had cones out to show her location. Could of stood out in the lane. You got to remember everything is gold and yellow out here so yellow vest against a yellow / gold background along the highway makes it tougher. Then late afternoon sun in the eyes driving west. Yup all against me.

more abs brake problems
Basically you have cruise controls, horn and airbag trigger running through the clock spring hence why to check the operation of all. If seen cruise switch fail. Airbag light yeah still a good chance of a bad clockspring.

Oil Pressure and Crankcase Vent
If the crankcase vent is plugged up typically it will blow out the tappet gasket. No. It will not change oil pressure because of crankcase vent condition.

I have 4.10's
Now remember for every 1 pound of rotational mass you add will be like 8 pounds on the frame. This is down side of opting for larger tire you can get the ratio right but the added rotational weight still will affect it still. Just be aware.

I have 4.10's
Aim for 3.73 ratio. I'm 3.69:1 ratio with 3.55 gear and already hit the 28.04 MPG.

Help! New faulty alternator caused problems?
Ok. So you might have electrical issues being it started. It also could be too high fuel pressure that created the hard start later.

Expensive mistake
I'm just glad to have the towing mirrors now. I had the old dumbo mirrors for such a long time and did fine with those. I wouldn't know what to do with power folding mirrors being I rarely ever fold mine up.

Flaggers
I've got a complaint I've got to get off my chest. Out working for my crew in McCall - Donnelly. I was head back to town for bits and piece from NAPA. Since the main highway 55 is under construction (repaving) it easier to take the back roads. So I'm nearly back to McCall and Idaho power is doing some power line work. Yes the typical sign out for road work, flagger, etc. But as I was looking up the hill with setting sun wink through the trees. There was no one I can see on the pavement. No cones ore any sign anyone was there. No crew truck nothing. So I'm already gearing down to be cautious but apparently this gal was tuck right along the road edge near the trees but not on the road face being visible. So yeah I proceeded along slowly looking for a flagger in the road. Of course on my way back she cussing me out. As I went by. Second time I was rolling up to area where construction on the main highway and the flagger was standing by here pick up in the ditch. Not visible. I just about rolled on by past here too locking up my brakes. Stupid flaggers I'm getting tired of such lazy BS. This does mean you get to tuck in the shade of the trees or standoff the shoulder of the highway where no one is looking. Get your butt on the road face. Not over by your pickup talking to a friend or texting on your phone. Hanging out in the shade of the trees. Put cones out to show your there. Something don't keep us all guessing where your hiding. Another trip in to town there repaving a small chunk of side road near Lake Fork. There was no flagger on my side but had a flagger on the other end. What are you guys thinking? I've worked doing flagging for highway accidents. All this stuff is absolutely stupid. BE VISIBLE! Like a good friend told me a flagger in the shadows is a dead flagger!

Pilothouse/RAM3500 build
Hey @PilotHouse2500I'm curious to see the how you hung that hood. I love the forward flip design but curious on how you put it together.

Help! New faulty alternator caused problems?
Sorry to hear this. But my first thing to do is pull the alternator have it tested instantly. If it fails replace it. Then pull the ECM and send it out and have it tested and repaired. This is not something you can just do in a few hours so I'm going have to say you going to need to find a loaner for a while.
