Well the P1316 suggest either the IDM or the harness. I recently rebuilt my harness and it requires removing it, unwrapping it and visually inspecting 100% ever inch of wire.

turned up 3 of these, Seems to happen where a wire run branchs off the main trunk right under the turbo. Most likely from resting the turbo on the harness during removal.

How many miles is on the truck? Does the passenger side still not come up to temp as quick? Have you ever done any work on the fuel system?

I'm just spitballing here but the more info you provide the more we can help.

What UVC gaskets did you use? A while back Dorman produced some faulty ones with two wires in the wrong terminals. Also some reported bad connections
