Center Console/Armrest
Actually its easier to just remove the center seat from the other two. Just 4 bolts and the entire center seat comes out.

New vp44 no boost still
Odd thought... What if the ground line of the MAP sensor and APPS sensor are floating some voltage? It would impact your range of throttle. This might throw off the MAP and APPS signal as well. Remember one thing sensor grounds are NOT body grounds! This brings me back to the passenger battery terminals and good ground over there. I know the APPS sensor is share between the PCM and ECM computers. ECM for the fueling but the PCM for automatic shift functions. If you are feeling really bold...

Everyone post a picture of your truck!
I don't see little bits of rubber on the rear fenders yet.

Hey! All you need to venture over to the Garage area and post your trucks up too. https://mopar1973man.com/garage/

Turbo options and opinions
Thank you. That's rather interesting. Darn power bug infection might come back. UGH!

Poor Fuel Mileage and Low Power
You might check the CCD bus for issues. The APPS sensor is shared by both ECM and PCM. If the CCD bus is goofy it might dirty all data. Remember the PCM is the primary computer the ECM is secondary.

That should help. There is the rest of the wire maps in the articles.

What error codes are you getting?

Poor Fuel Mileage and Low Power
Better off watching the live data from the ECM. Ohm values don't mean much. You should see 0 to 100 prevent throttle signal. Rising smoothly. This can be done without driving.

Any guesses where it’s LEAKING????
Another hidden behind fan pulley mount.

Any guesses where it’s LEAKING????
There is more than 3 more. Typically use a punch and a hammer. Now knock one side in so you can get a hold of the edge and pull it out.

Did my VP go too?
If you get a small notebook and keep it in your console you can keep the fuel and mileage wrote down and then spreadsheet it later to see tends. Here is one of my old ones.

Did my VP go too?
Now do a bit of hand math and see if that is true...

Tappet cover for 24v
Do the job the right way and pull the VP44 off. I've seen too many attempting to cheat and end up having the gasket leak in the front form shoehorning the tappet cover back in.

Can you stop battery corrosion?
It will work but doesn't last long. Got to treat it more often.

Check for the error codes and list the code numbers here and we'll get you lined out with diagnostic stuff. How about fuel pressure is the fuel pressure 14-20 PSI from idle to WOT?

Performance
You are going to need to know to deal with the Tork Tek overflow valve. Being those are adjustable you can set the pressure to your injection pump by that overflow valve. Yeah, I'd say 300k miles the stock valve is most likely shot.

P0122
Quicker way. Unhook the batteries leave the ignition key ON for 5 minutes. Turn the key OFF. Then hook the batteries back up. Do the APPS relearn. Done in about 7 minutes or about the same time to enjoy a cold beer and BS with a friend.

Transmission rebuilders (Firepunk or Dynamic)
https://goerend.com/ http://www.firepunk.com/trans.php https://dynamictransparts.com/index.php There is 3 now to think about. Maybe some should talk to Firepunk to jumping on the site too. I'd be glad to add him to the vendor list.

Quadzilla v2 Tuning
Like myself, I've got LibreOffice and it doesn't work either. Microsoft only tuner program. Everyone here knows how much I dislike Microsoft products.
-
Breather for valve cover?
There was a gent here that had some sort of jacket hose that had steel braid in the jacket really stiff stuff kind of like a hydraulic hose.
-
Quad installed!
Just wait... Let one of the power junkies hook you up with more... Get bit by the power bug and its a slippery slope you'll never get back up again. Like myself with +75HP injectors and that HX35/40 Hybrid turbo. It's crazy the amount of power over stock with a few mods and Quadzilla wiretapped.

Transmission rebuilders (Firepunk or Dynamic)
Funny tidbit... @Dynamic disassembles my 46RE gets it in for being washed. Then he turns to me and says, "You know you get to put this all back together." My jaw hit the floor like "WHAT!" Very enjoyable time watching him build my transmission for me. To this day that 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 still runs like a crazed mule and shift super firm yet. I love it!

Any guesses where it’s LEAKING????
From the driver side look up towards the back of the block and you'll be able to see the freeze plug back there. If your rotting out freeze plugs it might be a good idea to replace them all. Typically stems from people over using the coolant till its corrosive and the damage is done.

Poor Fuel Mileage and Low Power
Passenger battery terminal. All ECM, PCM and VP44 ground is right there. Then if you want to get crazy and go for the ground mod. Cummins ISB does some weird math to figure boost pressure. So I wouldn't consider this too bad might be part of it still.
