Truck curb weight!
MoparMom, Diesel and myself with some tools and stuff in the bed is right at 7,600 pounds.

What Happen ?
I would do 1 gallon of antifreeze and the rest 50/50 mix. In all the cooling system I've drained I've always gotten close 5 gallons out of a truck. So that means there is roughly 1 gallon of water in the block.

4th gear hunt back again
Remember all grounds for the ECM, PCM and VP44 are the actual battery cables. The body ground that you see under the hood is for auxiliary things like lights, horn, etc.

What Happen ?
Yuck. Time to get flush that is a absolute mess. I'm still stumped about how that even happened.

VP44 factory lift pump?
It better volume but longevity of the pump is rather short. Watch your pressures and watch for leaking fuel.

VP44 factory lift pump?
It was shortly after Pureflow changed hands that things started to change and go down hill. Like the custom fuel system which was a roll of hose and a bag of JIC push lock fittings. This was done away with for new improved quick connect system that forced a owner to mounting in one place. Then the motors got cheaper and cheaper with seal leaks and burning up. Then the last one I seen is the mounting brackets are no longer steel but a plastic. Sorry to say AirDog/Raptor quality when down hill and still not turning around anytime soon that I've seen.

New 31.5 BHTS
You want to tow at nearly prefect level. This will equalize the weight across the tires of the axles and wear tires evenly. I tend to agree about tongue weight it seems either too low or too high it feel heavy. But can't comment on pin weight being the trailer is design differently.

failing throw out bearing
Just about everything is made in China anymore. If it was me, I would go to the local NAPA store grab one and get that trans stuffed back in the truck.

ABS Sensor
Both are being managed there a 4WD sense lead back to the ABS unit to change it calculation of the braking force.

A rant, a rave, a consult?
I don't know what to say to it at all. There is mistakes I see your in-laws made and mistakes that the dealer made. Personally I would of never left the lot till someone else inspected the vehicle either by you or a mechanic (other than the dealer). The only thing I can see here is that maybe the dealer is pull a low blow and filing a lost title on your in-laws vehicle. Because the vehicle is worthless without a title. Can't even crush one without a title.

Time to go play!
Here is a few pictures I shot of looking at the Big Salmon River heading toward Riggins, Idaho. I'm up the mountain heading towards Florence, ID (old abandon mining town) which we never made it to because of the snow in the high country yet. Riggins, ID was almost 90*F but we played in the snow for the day. Got video to process yet...

I'm hitched up and ready to go out and play today. More to come when I get home...

ABS Sensor
Because the magnet on the older sensor is weaker now and the new sensor is stronger so the AC wave that is produced is different. More here too... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

ABS Sensor
ABS codes are typically read with a DRBIII tool and can't be read with typical OBDII code readers. No. It should reset at the first few hundred feet. So basically you have a speed mismatch and one axle is running a different speed than the other so the lights remain on. Just like I said you typically have to replace is match pairs. Very very rare do you get luck and just replace one sensor.

Fuel pressure dropping/ rough starts
Truck will run off the batteries for several hours. So just unhooking the field lead show do it for you. Then like MnTom suggested take a test drive and see if the problem still exist.
-
Any Benefit to using deep cycle RV Batteries on the truck?
Why do that? When there is a Aux Power stud in the PDC. Best to fixed the source of the noise problem than attempting to filter it. Typically deep cycle batteries have less CCA and more Amp/Hours storage. So your trading out the cold starting ability for storage and long term draw function. I would stick to normal starting batteries.

24v No start issue
When you do the BC test all your doing is ruling out if the ECM is bad or not. Being it starts without the ECM that means the ECM has taken on damage of some sort to prevent it from starting.
-
Fuel pressure dropping/ rough starts
Bit too high I would try for another spring 17 PSI. As for the previous bogging problem you might still check the alternator out. I just talked to Pepsi71Ocean yesterday and found out his transmission and alternator issues were caused by a $10 set of alternator brushes. This created enough AC noise to measure 0.7 and 0.8 AC volts which was enough to create lock up issues and stalling issues.

Turbo and injectors improve mileage!
Basically anything the ECM/PCM has a sensor for.
