what was wrong with ours was our back three quil tubes were not torqued to 41 ft-lbs so once we did that and torqued our lines to 22 ft-lbs we fired it up and she ran normal again so to check yours pull off your FCA and shake it it should rattle put it back on aafter that then pull off your return line off the back of your head and put it in to a cup you can measure with a graduated cylinder or paint cup if it fills up to more than 70 ml in ten seconds there is your problem we had 250 ml in ten seconds also our rail high pressure release valve wasnt out but bad its supposed to release at 30,000 psi ours would leak with the shop air house and had a lil leak we put one off an isl cummins and it ran a lil stronger than stock so over all we put
AIR DOG transfer pump
new FCA valve
NEW high pressure relife valve
and she was back to running order no stalling or loss of power

I think with all these good tips he will have plenty to check if it rains this weekend.
It makes me want to go out and hug my old 12V.

The retorque fixed the truck for awhile. Now it will lose power if you fill fuel tank past one third full! Tank has been off twice and he has run it with cap off with no change. He is thinking about changing FCA again, but several people have told him that will not fix the problem. Meanwhile my old 12V is still chugging along at 305K.

Thanks for the update tgrfan2!
Hope he gets his fixed soon....and hope mine doesn't get drawn out that long. I've been plugging away at mine for a few months now too though.
Yep, something to be said for a 12 valve. Heck, even my old 24v, I've got that thing pretty much whipped. Once I changed cams and put a 12v cam driven lift pump on it cleared up the majority of the issues with it.
