stock boost question
ISX got it. You going to need a Edge Comp or something to do boost fooling. Other than that the whole idea of changing the wastegate goes out the window. What happens is as the engine sees above 20 PSI its to defuel and shut down by 25 PSI it will/should throw a P0234 code for overboost code. So if you wanting any more boost your going to need a fueling box like a Edge Comp or similar for boost fooling. As for controlling EGT's is easy drop 1 gear and kick the RPM's up and the EGT's always fall.

Too much propane...

Wheels won't turn when sitting still
Try kicking the RPM's up to see if it is a pressure issue while turning. Me personally, I wouldn't bother with the name brand hype I would just replace with a factory power steering pump and gear box. 232k miles and ticking on the clock and still not even a leak on my factory pump or box yet. All the rough road miles and forestry roads.

Load distributing hitch bars?
If I'm not mistaken it based off the actual hitch weight at the tongue. So typically a 7,000 pound trailer would have 10-12% in tongue weight so 700-840 pounds on the tongue. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/towing/equipment/hitches/towing-weight-distribution-systems.htm

Ram 1500 gasser overheating
Fan clutch is possible. How about the face of the radiator is it packed with mud, bugs, etc. You'll have to remove the radiator to clean it good from both sides. How about the core tube are they all plugged up with corrosion blooms from old corrosive coolant? Water pump rare to fail but typically you would see the pump weeping water. As for the pump vane being gone or broke would be cause from corrosive coolant eating them. So when was the last coolant system flush and fill last done?

do you trust your michanic?
I'm sorry but I lost my faith in dealers and shops long ago. The only shop my truck with see is a tire shop and alignment rack. Beyond that I do my own work on the truck. But that was totally just a botched job there and someone really didn't care. Glad you found the problem and took care of it properly.

Any Benefit to using deep cycle RV Batteries on the truck?
No. Not really. All the PSG is encased in plastic and the actual heat sink is downward into the fuel not upwards to the air. So adding a heat sink and blower won't do much because if the fuel is 140*F its got direct contact with the aluminum plate that is in contact with the electronics. Food for thought. I'm up here in Idaho seeing temps above 110*F in the summer and well in the minus numbers in the winter. My VP44 has no cooler on it and been running just fine since 2004 when it was replaced at 50k miles. Currently has 232k on the clock.

Smoking Trucks / Coal Rollers?
Go back and re-look at my post added much more to the post... (Sorry last minute thoughts...) http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/topic/8719-smoking-trucks-coal-rollers/page-2#entry94411

Smoking Trucks / Coal Rollers?
Yeah... guilty as charged. But I figure I would share the impact of what some Moron's are doing to affect the laws that might be passed against us. Which seems to be the stem of this thread. Which I do but don't because this does impact the diesel owner directly. As for Rancherman's post http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?/topic/8719-smoking-trucks-coal-rollers/page-2#entry94375 Just a bit borderline. More of hijack than to the topic. Which is true there is no bickering like I see at other sites. There is no personal attacks or pointing fingers yet...

Well after the spark plug change and a short test drive the CEL light stayed off so far and she is going to test drive it tomorrow on the mail route. This little Subaru has well over 300k miles (second engine) and does about 134 miles per day delivering mail out here. We'll see I'll keep you posted.

Smoking Trucks / Coal Rollers?
I've been saying this all long. The fact we are going around the same circle as we did back in the late 60's with muscle cars and now doing it all over again with diesel trucks.

Tire balance and shocks are typically the big ones.

Son in accident
A lot of people voicing about accidents motorcycle vs. car/truck. I'm also one that had a few bad accidents motorcycle vs. car. I would have to agree like out here its getting pretty bad with idiots on the road passing on double yellows and with on coming traffic. I'd rather ride my ATV up a forestry road at a nice slow 20-35 MPH. I truly feel bad that anyone has to get hurt doing something enjoyable like riding motorcycles. It's a experience everyone should enjoy at least once.
