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

VP44 factory lift pump?
14-15 PSI Starter Bump 12-13 PSI idle 9-11 PSI WOT 35 GPH Pump 75 GPH Plumbing (6mm ID) without banjo bolts.

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.

Mike and Taz.......................The Early Years?
Dorkweed's way of messing up. Or... After he's done stacking it all.

What size is the Dodge factory towing package?
Still why is utility trailers excluded? I've seen some out weigh some RV's.

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

What size is the Dodge factory towing package?
That's a question I can't get answered... Why is that only RV's require a Weight Distribution Hitch where most all utility trailers don't? Like my Fire Chief has utility box trailers that gross more weight than my RV but don't require a WD hitch. Even my BigTex 70TV is really close to the RV in weights but doesn't require a WD hitch either. But some can hitch up to a bumper bull flat bed trailer grossing 13,000 to 14,000 with a tractor no problem without a WD hitch but on the flip side RV requires (or highly suggested). Why is this?

Turbo and injectors improve mileage!
Doesn't hurt. Live data tool (like ScanGauge II) would do just fine if you want to watch engine data.
-
What size is the Dodge factory towing package?
Typically our trucks can haul roughly 9,000 to 13,000 pound trailers. Hitch weight of about 900 to 1,300 (~10%).

Turbo and injectors improve mileage!
HX35W turbo is a 12cm2 exhaust housing and a HY35W turbo is a 9cm2 exhaust housing.

VP fuel pressure test gauge thumbs up!
Funny how a isolator can make a quality mechanical fuel pressure gauge in to read junk pressures.

Loss of Acceleration (DEAD PEDAL?)
Diesel Auto Power or Vulcan Performance is my only two I deal with being they sell VP44's with a new PSG unit on top where you pay extra money at Blue Chip for new PSG, NAPA I can't confirm if the PSG is new or where they get rebuilt.
-
VP44 might be bad
Sign of a bad ECM. WTS light should come on for a bulb check each time.
-
Loss of Acceleration (DEAD PEDAL?)
Yea the P0216 code... Mechanical failure of the injection pump on the timing piston. It seems your pump has taken on damage. I would clear the code and see if the code returns.
-
Turbo and injectors improve mileage!
Actually no. Because if you truly running for MPG's you boost should be below 5 PSI if so there is no flowing exhaust really (Back pressure). I'm still running 3" exhaust just straight piped and no issues at all with MPG's. Actually you find slightly warmer intake air temps promote better MPGs more than anything. Between 100-140*F you'll get you better MPG than colder air will.
