2015 Callenger hellcat 707 hp 650 tq
Like myself I grew up with a 1973 Dodge Charger SE with a 400 CID rebuilt a 383 CID and then beefed up the trans and drove that car for over 300,000 miles when I sold it. I'm just waiting for something to come along and kill off the whole muscle car thing again it happen back with the oil embargo I'm sure it will happen again.

Hard start and more smoke
I'm just saying test them to rule out any injector issues. This why I'm just suggest the test so we can rule out causes of why its smoking. You might just replace them and not gain anything or make the problem worse. This why testing is best before just through money and parts at any problem.

Help- annoying whistle noise
Crawl under the truck and check the fender skirt and the fender mountings. You might find the fender is torn loose from the cab. Might notice the fender to door gap is a bit weird. Also check the body mounts to the frame for problems.

Newer Ford Powerstroke
I suggested that too... But the owner has tried some other kind of spray glue as well. Never told me the name of the stuff.

Tappet cover insulation panel
That's all I do it rip it out and just replace the gasket on the cover. As for heat shield not required either. Just keep 14-20 PSI of fuel pressure and fuel flow will cool the VP44.

Newer Ford Powerstroke
This is just a traveler going home to Las Vegas, NV and was having troubles. As for alignment that was one of the thing I kept after the owner as he was installing the boot again and making sure everything was absolutely clean and free of oil. Light black coating of oil in the discharge of the turbo too.

Newer Ford Powerstroke
Last night a neighbor called up asking me to help him out with a Ford Powerstroke with a boost boot that keep blowing off the mouth of turbo. His stock boot was blown and shredded on the one end. The after market boot was a bit different length but it did fit. For some reason it would blow that one off too in about 5 miles. Tow a 5th wheel trailer GVWR for the trailer was close to 15,000 pounds. Also running big 35" tires as well. Edge Juice set to stock and running about 15-20 PSI of boost climbing the canyon. I figure I would ask about it to see if anyone else learned a answer to this weird problem?

So... I have a bit of a project..
I've never been a big fan of the aluminium skinned RV's after owning the 1976 Dodge Jamboree. That had the exact same issues all the front corners leaked and the roof was constantly leaking too. Now here is where the two Jayco differ... Tracy's is a aluminium skinned mine is fiberglass both the same floor plan. So far I've been rather diligent about keeping it sealed up. I've got to do some more on mine and also redo a few spots I'm not happen with before a leak does occur. Sometime this summer I got to treat the rubber roof as well.

What size hay bails are those?

Hard start and more smoke
I tend to agree the white smoke is possibly a injector issue. I would consider having them pop tested to see where your at. Typically its a free test.

What is everyone doing these days?
Well between doing oil changes on the wood splitter, lawn mower and 96 Dodge Ram I've been busy this morning. Then fixing the dam wall of the pond out back. Burning trash in my burn barrels. But now with the summer heat coming on by tomorrow it will be in the low 90's here and closer to 100*F in Riggins, ID. So I work during the morning hours outside as much as possible then hide for the afternoon heat. Then back out for the evening hours. I'm pretty sure I should start getting phone calls for air conditioning charging and repairs.

2001 auto, 18# boost
I typically think the Edge Products boost elbow is better than the adjustable elbow. But that's me...

At this rate Tracy you might get to use it this fall. I know its not a easy task of tearing on down and fixing. I'm getting itchy to see your finished product though...

What is everyone doing these days?
Just that I was wondering I wander around several web site from Linux, Administration site, Cummins Sites, to to a few other odd balls like LiveOak's (Tractor Farm And Family). But I've see a pretty good drop in the last few weeks even here is almost 200 less people a day. So I'm just about right in my thinking the weather improved people are outside like myself and doing other things. Not much with truck failures. Pretty soon I should see a few pop up with overheating issues and air conditioning issues. As for me I've been racing to get as much wood as possible Riggins, ID is going into the 100 degree mark on top of this thunder storms this week. Ugh!

DRBIII scanners are are typically $5,000 to $9,000 a scan tool. Are you sure its a true DRBIII tool? Not to mention the tool isn't going to be worth much without the subscription to Chrysler Database of Software. http://www.autoditto.com/drb-iii.html?gclid=CN-m2eCmn78CFQaBfgodqIIAAg http://www.ntxtools.com/network-tool-warehouse/OTC-CH6020A-AM.html
