Any updates?

That is possible... That is also possible... The only way to tell is check the gear timing. Part that sucks is that you have to pull the gearcase open and replace the front crank seal. The other way is to take the gamble that you have a bad pump but will your supplier say you voided warranty? If you go this route make sure to take photos of your pump and any numbers and data on the label. This way if they call Void then you can verify with your photos if they are looking at the right pump.

Replace the lift pump. Not the overflow valve. A good FASS, AirDog or Fuel Boss would be the best solution.

Actually, the Quadzilla gets it data from the engine CANBus so that means the PCM has to start the CCD network to get the ABS speed signal then hand it off to the ECM so the ECM pass it off over the CANBus.

Sounds like its getting low under WOT operation. You should see 14-20 PSI at WOT. Once you drop under 14 PSI the overflow valve closes and the return fuel stops. Then your extra fuel for cooling and lubing stops as well. Might ask who is rebuilding there pumps. There is only a small handful of Bosch 815 test stands in the US. If you don't have a 815 test stand there is no way to program or test the VP44 pump or flash the new PSG.

OMG...

P0216 code... ECM has nothing to do with it. P0216 code is caused by... Is your pump gear still in time? Like this member had it off by a tooth. What's your fuel pressure like at highway speed?

That would work excellent on a cold engine when all the oil has ran to the pan. This is an updated gearcase... That is a first for me to see the pump gear off by a tooth. I know people mention that it not possible to lift the gear high enough to skip a tooth.

Here is the CCD Network bus. You can see the Central Timer, Radio, Instrument Cluster, Airbags, ABS and Overhead console. The PCM is the master controller of the CCD network. ECM is companion module.

Why buy a kit? Just buy a fender washer, a tube of grey silicone, and front crank seal. Take the fender washer and shape it on a grinder so it like a teardrop. Pull the bolt and install the custom tab. Install a new crank seal and re-seal your cover. Your done.

KDP problem is from 1989 to 2001 model year Cummins engines.

Any standard error codes on the OBDII port?

Electrical problem for sure. The cluster is still getting power but PCM isn't fired up so the bus is dead because the PCM is not powered.

I can tell you that lifting the head is a two-man job even with an engine hoist. As for the Head gasket job isn't really that hard. It's time-consuming. Basically, all the fuel rails have to come off on the driver side. The passenger side the exhaust manifold and turbo come off and remember to pull the injectors. Then the head you need to pull all the rockers and the push rods. There is two rubber plugs in the cowl for lifting the push rods out for 5 and 6 cylinders. Unbolt the head and team lift that beast off. Now just need the head to be taken to a shop and checked for cracks, then made true flat again. While its there I highly suggest valve guise and have the valve seals dealt with. This is about $1,000 just for the machine work. Head gasket kit is right around $150 if I'm not mistaken. Then its just reassembly at this point. Clean your deck really good and place your head gasket down. It will only go down one way because of the alignment dowels. Now carefully place the head on the block again and make sure it seats on the dowels. Start your assembly process... First time... Removal with a friend was 3 hours. 2 days on assembly. I had help to place the head but that all. Rest was on me.

I've seen one dealer invoice for 2002 truck with a gear case replacement because of a KDP. Typically the end of the line is 2001. Just that fluke that a few 2002 trucks ended up with an old school KDP case. I've checked mine and have the updated case already.

I'm going to tag @Dynamic on this maybe he's got an idea on the problem.

Ok.. I'm going to fully agree with @dripley on this. Dodge Ram truck, if you use the dimmer part at all like dim 50% brightness or lower the dimmer itself will get extremely hot. I'm going to have to say the rheostat part of the headlight switch is shot and the entire headlight switch will have to be replaced.

Just make sure to never let the can flip upside down. This will dump liquid freon on the suction side of the compressor which can possibly cause a hydro-lockup of the compressor. Can be rather explosive.

It takes 3 cans of freon to make them cool. What is happening is the can is freezing up and quits producing gas. This is where I get a 1 gallon ice cream pail and fill with hot water and place the freon can in the water. The pressure will rise sharply in the can so it's best to have a manifold gauge set.

Looks like you get to do a head gasket job.

Did you load the system with green dye and check with a UV light if the dye was leaking back out? Might have to blast out the nipple with a bit of brake clean to start clean and to check if the dye is leaking back through.

It shows the commanded timing by the ECM which for idle is 12.86° BTDC. Like back when my VP44 got stuck at full advance it still only showed commanded timing event though the timing was maxed out and the truck was rattling to beat the band. Barely could do 25 MPH home. So you only see what the Quadzilla commands or ECM commands.

Well CR engine has the absolute best control of fuel and timing. Being there is no mechanical limitation like the VP44 where you have to pump fuel on a cam lobe. Yes, EPA has there had in this where its possible to preload the cylinder and then have the main event happen after top dead center.
