Its only a matter of time before she goes t.i.t.s up and leaves you sitting on the side of the road somewhere or wont start one morning.

I've ordered my Power Supply from Bullet Proof Diesel. They say that its 95% of the time the Power Unit that fails and not the logic board.. Im going with the 6 phase but its really good price imho to upgrade for..

take a look at them. Might be a good solution.

I'm right there with ya kidkiser. Mine drops to 41-42 on cold starts and goes right back to 48 after a couple minutes. I also want the ultimate for the warranty and the atlas 40 tune. But I will be towing a 14,000lb fifth wheel in the near future and not sure if the atlas 40 is a good idea. I need to call ed also.

What exactly happens to the injectors that causes failure with low FICM voltage? With DC a low voltage would mean lower amperage across the coils. So it much be something on the bottom side getting damaged from improper timing due to slow switching of the spool valve?

V = I * R. For a given resistance, if the voltage decreases, the current, I, or amps must go up. This creates much more heat and melts solder on the power board. So, this also translates to pushing more current through the wiring to the coils on the injectors to drive them, with low voltage, and those skinny wires can't handle hat either. Kinda becomes a high amperage house of cards.
