Honda Tri Fuel.
Parallel increases amperage; so you would just get more watts. To get 240v they would need to be in series and then it would still be single phase. It would not be a two phase system with each leg (phase) at 120v.

Bad fuel knock or worse!?!?

See if these two articles would help. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/53_axles-suspension-brakes/00-02-hd-steering-upgrade-r372/ https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/12-valve-2nd-generation/axles-suspension-brakes/98-99-hd-steering-conversion-r188/

Installing Edge EZ
I removed the boost elbow that came with my EZ and installed an adjustable one. Stock boost was 18psi, with EZ supplied boost elbow 24psi. with adjustable elbow 30psi; a little more power.

New trucks and the chip shortage
If you got it then enjoy it. You worked hard for it and you can't take it with you. When you're dead you really don't care anymore.

New trucks and the chip shortage
If I had my heart set on it no though I might renegotiate for a lower price due to new year models are out. The dealer wants to show the most units sold in a month to the manufacture and does not want to pay the bank "flooring" interest fee on a unit. So, the last days of the month are the best to buy a new car. Don't know. Let's see, $170 for a tow or $65,000+ for a new truck. Even at $500 a tow that's 130 tows.

New trucks and the chip shortage
The increased outbreaks of Wuhan Covid-19 in Asia has disrupted the supply chain for semiconductor chip manufactures. Most of the chips are made in China and Taiwan. The assembly, testing, and packaging is done in Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines because of large unskilled cheap labor force. The rise in outbreaks has caused the plants and shipping facilities in these countries to be shut down. These supply problems will extend into 2022 and might go further. This mean not only truck and auto production delays, vehicles use from 300 to 3000 chips depending on model and options, but anything with a chip from digital thermometers to washing machines will be in short supply and cost more adding to the inflation worry.

How long do you think the used truck market for good 24 v 5.9 Cummins 2 nd gens will hold out ?
The Kelley Blue Book is a price guide; the real price is what the value of the vehicle to the consumer. An example of this is when fuel prices rise sharply then the demand for fuel guzzling vehicles falls and fuel efficient vehicle rise as does their respective values regardless of the Blue Book value. So, since I'm younger than you, I "make all the mistakes"?

Looking for some advice; bad ECM?
You can try this if the ECM isn't turning on the lift pump. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/59_fuel/asd-controlled-lift-pump-r649/

Nationwide Weather
I think most of the water would run off and not soak into the ground around the trees. I lived in Rhode Island for 20 years, Massachusetts for 1 and New Hampshire for another; it seams like every year was cold and stormy, that's why I moved to So Cal.

Few random questions..
You can contact the dealer parts department. They might be able to get the build data sheet from Chrysler with that info. I did this last week for a 2006 Volvo fuel pump. Doesn't your dad work at a Dodge parts department?

E10 fuel here in the Uk and a new Volvo XC40 hybrid for wife
HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE YA...RIGHT Good luck with the new Volvo Here in California when the temps go up the California Independent System Operator calls for a "FLEX" alert. This is what they want you to do before 9 AM: pre-cool home use major appliances close window coverings charge devices charge electric vehicles During the FLEX alert until 9PM: set AC to 78° or use fans avoid using major appliances turn off all unnecessary lights unplug unused items do not charge electric vehicles When the demand is to great they implement rolling black outs, no power, all though they use the euphemism "brown out". Not enough power for what is here but they keep building houses and apartments that will demand more. let's see what this is like in the next 10 years. On that slippery slope to being a 3ed world country. limited power divided by more demand equals your all electric car becomes a yard ornament.

exhaust brake
I mostly use the exhaust break in 3ed or 4th. I have used it in 2ed once or twice just to see if i could. You a line pressure of 90-100psi to hold convertor locked. You can lock up your torque convertor when exhaust brake comes on using an extra relay to ground the orange/ black wire at PCM B11. You could modify what I did below to accomplish this. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/52_transmission-transfer-case/diy-converter-lock-up-with-brake-pedal-release-r536/

WHIRRRR?
On a stock turbo set up the top boost pressure looks a little low; should be 18-20psi. Over 20psi and the ECM defuels the engine unless there is a "boost fooler" installed. Easy to check the turbo for play. Usually a turbos with excessive radial play (side to side) makes noise accelerating when drive pressure is high. Second thought is a bearing in the transmission. When coasting in neutral torque loading on internal parts is reduced.

I'm Back, Finally! And I have some good questions/ topics
I did this in my first attempt to do a by pass and it is installed on my truck; it work fine but not KISS. Here is the article. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/grid-heater-bypass-r618/

NO big deal. A few people here run the grid heaters disconnected in the summer or have done this modification. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/grid-heater-bypass-simplified-r662/
