Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
After almost 90,000 miles on the odometer from brand new, I just registered my first diagnostic code. 
As per ToolManTimTaylor's excellent list of P-codes, I can unfortunately confirm that my truck is a bit sick with these symptoms. No communication between ECM and the injection pump module according to the DRB Scan display and the DTC description indicates a datalink circuit failure between ECM and the fuel injection pump, resulting in low power, engine derating or the engine stops.
My problem (currently) only becomes obvious at start-up from cold/hot, when it takes on average between three or four attempts to settle down into a steady tickover, accompanied by several clouds of big black smoke.
Whilst driving, the engine doesn' miss a beat, but I am being extra careful until I can get this sorted properly and hopefully in the next day or so.
Any suggestions, hints, guidelines and/or recommendations on how to narrow this down would be much appreciated guys - especially as I am at least 3500 miles from the nearest Dodge dealership! ( I'm based in Europe).
Cheers!!
