Fiver Tires
I'm running TowMax tires on the TT no issues after 3 years so far. But I will admit a lot of people favor the Maxxis tires.

So... I have a bit of a project..
Really pouring the silicone to the joints...

Alternator trouble
Actually that's a sign of weak batteries or bad cables. In other words the voltage is dropping off quickly and causing the low volt warning. Normally with strong batteries and good cables this will never happen. So time to do a voltage drop test and battery load test.

CAD Axle violent release.
I might have to look into that.

2 cycle oil
I've used PenzOil, Quaker State, Yama-Lube, Stihl Oil, Super Tech, etc. Not really. As long as its TCW3 you should be fine (Ashless).

Jet Boat Weekend on the Salmon River
Here is a screen shot of one of the videos of the jet engine powered jet boat. This boat would top out at about 140 MPH on the river. I'll process videos later when I get home and post a YouTube.

Jet Boat Weekend on the Salmon River
Whew! Good night of sleep and getting ready for another day of working safety boat. I hooked up with our boat Captain "Tony Yost" and nice to hook up with good friends from last years Jet Boat races. I'll have my video camera today and hopefully catch somme action shots where we are at. River is high and running rough. Took a ride yesterday and is mean enough for a normal jet boat to toss it around like a toy in the rapids.

Jet Boat Weekend on the Salmon River
Yeah... Busy day watching the race boats, getting paperwork and things setup. I'll post more later...

Injector Failure..............Early Signs
CR injectors are expensive but still and all I agree with John on this one. New is the best option and replace all in one shot.
-
Alternator trouble
You still should have a error code for battery temp sensor.

Replace Fan Hub Bearing
I tend to rinse down my engine about once a week or so keeping the road dust and dirt from collecting as goopy grease on the block from leaks. But I've only replace one alternator since new. Still have all my OE idler bearing and fan bearing.

Moonshine
Bunch of alcoholics... Oh well. I'm going to grab my light weight stuff Whiskey and toss it in the RV for midnight sipping. I could go up to a friends parents place and get a few hits of the White Lightning.

Alternator trouble
Might have the alternator re-tested for AC noise output. Double check for P0336 error codes for the crank sensor if the tach is not reading or incorrect then the transmission will shift funny and alternator charging will be affected.

Quieter 2nd Gen.
MPG fooler and/or warm air intakes help too. This tend to retard the timing. IAT temps of 100-140*F will bring the timing down and make them quieter. Tighter valve lash 0.008 on intake and 0.018 on exhaust. Lower cetane fuels. (~40 cetane) 2 Cycle Oil (128:1 ratio)

Vacuum pump - Rebuild time!
Funny... After I changed my oil and cleaned the under side of the truck I've not see any oil leaks as of yet. Kind of one of those moments!?

Fuel Pressure Gauge Fluctuates
Correction... Move the sender FARTHER from the VP44. Closer you get the stronger the water hammer pulse are and the less time it takes to destroy a fuel pressure sender. What people don't under stand is there is roughly like 600 pulses a second coming from the VP44. In a mechanical gauge the pulse are very audible as a buzzing noise that changes with RPM's but with a electric sender the same buzzing noise can be heard over the clatter of the Cummins. But it still there eating away at the electric senders.

PD4655 Converter charging graph.
Good question for you AH64ID? What is the battery manufactures float voltage and bulk voltage requirements? What is the battery manufactures suggested charge rate? All batteries have a designed float and bulking voltages for optimal charging to prevent gases of the battery. Typically slow charging is better for any battery because of the the gassing issues that might occur at high charging rates. Ultimately the best charger would have a battery temp sensor and adjust charging voltage accordingly. But I know most RV converters don't have such a option.

Bad Oil Leak
Also check your crankcase vent too. I've seen some really poor mods done to the crankcase vent that causes pressure to build up and blow the tappet cover gasket out. One of my small reasons I never suggest extending the crankcase vent with more rubber hose.
-
Track Bar Options
Typically the killer of track bars is the oversized tires. Since the OP is still running stock size I would worry much about custom bars or modifying personally. Pick a bar of good quality and go for it.

Howdy from Texas!
You might want to get in touch with ISX on the HX35W turbo he's done a bunch of work with video and other wise for these turbos.

Best Power Options for stock turbo and stock vp
Talk to Ed Grafton (Yankneck) he would know the Quadzilla angle.

So... I have a bit of a project..
Wow. Just looking at those pictures its soooo close to being like my rig. Yeah... The green carpet I think needs to go... Don't you?

Vacuum pump - Rebuild time!
As far as I know you just pull the vacuum pump and PS pump as a unit from the truck.
