What about the fuel tank vents or fuel cap vents? Easy check, take one cap off, run it. I think the dieseling or pre ignition you hear is from running lean.
Truck runs like S@#$

Fuel caps off line to gas tank right to fuel pump still misses and runs like #### but only when it warms up at 150+ degrees i noticed. Replacing #3 injector tomorrow and have a new cam sensor coming even though the one is 3 weeks old from cummins.

This is going to sound stupid, but check your grounds from the ECM to the battery. I went through something like this with one of my first trucks, after spending a hell of a lot of money, I had to take it to a dealer instead of a shop and was told by a 4'11" guy from France "it is your grounds" ( I hired him years later and he runs my shop). He fixed it, it cost me $87 and a lost load but it was fixed.

Ya thats next. Just did over head and changed the other injector that was weak. At right about 150 degrees it starts to miss and idle horrible. Up to that temp it runs perfect
