Like the Key was turned off at 80 mph
I've seen something similar. The answer is that a crossover tube is loose. What happens is the crossover tube is sealing cold the metals are all tight. Now as you drive and the head warms up and expands the crossover tube starts to loosen. Between the injector and the crossover tube so the rail pressure starts to bleed off in the return rail. No visible leak can be seen. What I did was tighten down the crossover tubes and the problem disappeared. This can be detected by an OBDII live data tool because the rail pressure fades as you drive. It will not restart till the the block cools off.

dead pedal when on cruise control
Test for excessive AC noise from the alternator. Bad APPS will typically throw a P0121, P0122 or P0123 code. What your talking about sounds like AC noise from the alternator adding noise to the Rach signal creating throttle issues. I have the AC noise test in the articles in transmission section. Typically this shows as torque converter issue on autos. On manuals its just like you said.

Actually I just seat the filter cap nothing more.

Grossing 16-17k in the Northeast, should I expect more from truck?
I've alerted the Source Resource gang... Hopefully someone can give you a hand...

Can I have two bad thermostats in a row
The one on the left was the old school NAPA I use to get all the time. Now the one on the right is what the new NAPA thermostats look like now.

compound set up
Do a bit of study work on your gearing it will impact everything about the truck. Optimal gear ratio for the street would be a 3.73 to the ground. Highway running or interstate you're going to want a final ratio of 3.55 to keep the RPM's down. Below this is too tall of a gear ratio. If you going to invest the big money on gears you better of figure out exactly what you going to want.

Then that lid is tightened too darn tight you going to have to force or break it. Then you'll have to replace it. https://www.genosgarage.com/product/ram-cummins-fuel-filter-cap-with-fuel-pressure-test-port-lt-59fuelcap/fuel-system-accessories-replacement-parts https://www.genosgarage.com/product/drm904301/fuel-caps

Loss of power under load
It a complete tool like the Mopar DRBIII tool. Just it works off the CANBus and not the OBDII port.

Fuel concerns
Need to know some things... Fuel pressure - Idle, cruising at highway and WOT at highway. AC voltage from the alternator Use a 6 sided socket this won't happen. 12 sided sockets tend to only grab the outer points.

Fuel economy on iQuad
Yeah, I know it... Gotta to stay within the budget...

Quadzilla V2 Custom Tunes
0 = Stock ECM 1 = Valet Mode 2 = Zero to 100% CANBus fuel 3 = Full CANBus 4 through 11... Depending on the tune set up this just divides the wiretap up. So if the default tune is set with 15 levels then that means each level 4 and up is 10% of the wiretap. Like I'm running 8 levels. So each level in my tune is just 25% of wiretap each step.

Loss of power under load
Basically you have to verify your wiring. Then you might have to verify the ECM. If you can get Cummins Insite you might be able to read the errors on the CANBus.

Fuel economy on iQuad
I think its time to consider rebuilding the UI / UX for the iQuad app again. There is a minor issue like this. How about the Eq Sliders. You're trying to see where the slider land in the green or red zone but you can't see that because the slider is right over the break of the red and green. The trip reset should be just a button, not an on/off switch. iQuad app should remember your last screen position instead of panning to it every time. Might be time for a bit of software tweaking on the iQuad app.

Loss of power under load
CCD Network is where you typically read error codes from the ECM. Take note there is the plugs on the cowl that hook the ECM to the PCM. Then there is the master plug in the PDC that has the CCD network into the cab.

98.5 Electrical Issues
If so still verify the alternator again then do the W-T ground mod. That ground is at the driver side kick panel most likely. Disconnect both end and measure ohm from end to end of each wire with both ends disconnected. This should show 0 ohms.

98.5 Electrical Issues
Yes. If the WTS issue is present you need to do two things... Have the alternator test for excessive AC noise and replaced if failing. Then you can send your ECM for repairs and reinstall it in the truck.

Intercooler Boots
I would look towards the Vulcan boots. I'm running set and never blew one off even with boost pressures up to 45 PSI. No issues to report.

Quadzilla or lift pump first?
Just might want to read the fuel tank thread... Sumps are not a good idea at all.

The 1000 hp vp
Everyone always claimed the VP44 was limited to a mere 600 HP. After seeing a few videos like these where even modified VP44's playing in the 1,000 HPbracket was really cool to see finally.

Can I have two bad thermostats in a row
Simple solution. When I do my coolant flush on my trucks I leave the thermostats out during the flushing. Then after the system is drained out. Then I close the drain cock and then proceed to fill the block back up with coolant mixture till it just about to run out the thermostat hole. Now install the thermostat and finish filling the cooling system. Now there is nothing left to burp out of the system because its full now.

98.5 Electrical Issues
Pull one fuse at a time and measure the amperage draw. When you find the circuit with the high draw you know what you have to deal with. Basically, put your meter on DC Amp and pull a fuse and then touch the probes to the contacts of the fuse place you just pulled. This will measure the current draw for that circuit.
