    The craziness continues, drove the truck in a torrential downpour, rain that is, kept the engine RPM up and drove through it. Today The miss is gone and the engine is quiet no more rattle I have my theory, I'd like to hear anybody else's theories on the situation. I want to give it a couple days to make sure it's real before I start trying to tune it again

    Check for leaks at the intake manifold, including the injector o-rings.

    no leaks that I can find??

    now that the Knocking/rattling has quit, I'm going to try to set the tune back to original settings, (turn all sensors back on, and let the ECU do it's job) sheesh!!! what a journey. you guys get upset with me? you should be here looking at this thing. I am doing a lot of diagnostics that I'm not telling about, because a lot of it is basic troubleshooting. but The crazy thing keeps sending me back over the same stuff, over and over again.

    I "believe" that the current problem now, is an intermittent electrical issue. it will miss for a while then not for 30 miles or so, then miss again for a few miles then not. so I'm in the middle of that, plus life. lol

    some where someone mentioned that I am missing a pid in my calcvet file, and I'm having trouble backtracking. (not surprising!)

    No, we're not upset, we go through the same stuff ourselves.

    Are you using the correct length pushrods?

    the cam, lifters, and rockers are all stock replacement Items, so i am "assuming" that stock push rods will work?? plus I don't know the stock length???

    Well, 'assuming' that the heads are stock, then your stock pushrods should be just fine. What grade engine oil are you using?
