Column wiring is a possibility.

Stuff Woodburners Should Never Hear……………or Say
(Some oldies I've heard way back when...) I'm breaking up my furniture because cause I'm out of firewood. Snow is too deep to get firewood. I'm burning newspaper logs for heat.

Even with that I would watch the media inside for color change or dust tracks if so time to ditch it and replace.

Recommendations for a Jump Starter
I'm in the market just to replace the set of jumper cables some stole out of the back of the 1996 Dodge Ram. I've thought about those boxes at times but with all the maintenance I do on my truck I've never had a dead battery yet. I like the one W&F mentions... http://www.kmart.com/diehard-platinum-portable-power-1150-with-jumpstarter-air-inflator/p-082CO54125312B

Speed Hut Gauges
My 3 DiPricol Gauges cost me a bit over $320 bucks with the A pillar pod. Heck I see fuel pressure and boost gauges from ISS Pro for $40 to $50 bucks.

Fuel and Boost Gauges IN!!
One small problem is that this little mod does keep it from throwing a check engine light but it stops the fueling table at where the boost ended. Basically its a voltage regulator set for about 18-19 PSI of boost. So when your boost exceeds this now you boost heavy and fuel poor. So boost keeps climbing but fuel stopped at that rate. This why a good wire tapped box works better because once you exceed the ECM limits the box re-writes the fuel signal on the wire tap to control fuel and timing both. How this is done is by adding pulse before actual to advance timing or lengthen the pulse to add more fuel duration.

Someone has gun and dun it!!!!
Like in Riggins, ID the Chevron station has 2 Diesel pumps on the outside row towards the street. I really sucks being those 2 are quick snagged by little gasoline power vehicles. Then the owners go inside the store use the restroom, look at goodies and snack food, etc. Then you wait and wait... Grrr... I love it in Grangeville, ID they have the standard islands with gas and diesel but when those are full just swing around the other side and grab a big truck pump and load up.

Question?
No joke. I try to avoid using acronyms too much. Thank you for the simple answer I never thought of that one.

High Idle Kit Is Here
Normal as long as the IAT temperature is below 60-65*F it will cycle the grid heaters.

Excessive Crank Pressure or tappet cover
I don't think the whole catch can is the right answer. Something doesn't ring right. All the big powered trucks I've been around normal don't have this issue at all.

something wrong with my truck?
About 80% of the time I'm on dirt roads too. The only paved roads out here is US95 once you leave the highway most everything is dirt. Even the 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 is good for 6,000 miles...

Time to put the winter front on.
Still don't see how any of that has to do with the APPS? The codes are for hi and lo volts codes and heat shouldn't change voltage of the wiring. Still why wouldn't be worse in the summer with baking heat and being trapped in traffic? I'm going to look up the wiring diagrams for this and the error codes for this as well and get back... http://articles.mopar1973man.com/3rd-generation-dodge-cummins/60-obdii-error-codes/367-p2122-low-voltage-at-the-app-sensor http://articles.mopar1973man.com/3rd-generation-dodge-cummins/60-obdii-error-codes/397-p2123-high-voltage-at-the-app-sensor http://articles.mopar1973man.com/3rd-generation-dodge-cummins/60-obdii-error-codes/398-p2127-low-voltage-at-the-throttle-validation-switch

Fuel and Boost Gauges IN!!
Well in the current configuration (unhooked wastegate) its going to perform poorly as it reaches close to 20 PSI its starts to defuel and fall on its face. Not worth the effort. Like said above do a full Edge Comp and be done. Fully adjustable in the cab and will produce a full 32-35 PSI of boost with a Edge Products boost elbow. (typically supplied with the Comp).

something wrong with my truck?
You have to set it up all over again and start marking your threads you want notices for. Sorry to say the two softwares are not compatible for notifications. I think you might want to extend your oil changes. In the owners manual its 7,500 miles for oil change. I'm changing at 10,000 miles. Might save you some money to change at specified intervals...

Be careful there. Once you start adding fuel it doesn't take much to over spin the turbo. I would highly suggest getting a boost elbow so you can set the boost pressure. Rather cheap at about $10-20 dollars typically.

No it shouldn't... But I suggest against any washable media filters.- Time to put the winter front on.
Please do.... I'd love to read it...- Fuel and Boost Gauges IN!!
Stock boost should be roughly 18-19 PSI typically. Might check the wastegate for sticking...- Speed Hut Gauges
Could you post a web page link for us?- air filter question
I Agree as well BHAF is better... Also optimal IAT for MPG numbers is about 100-140*F so cold air is actually counter productive for a daily driver.- something wrong with my truck?
I'd talked it over with Ed Grafton about the high idle stumbling out. We think it could be grid heater related, fuel injector(s), or possibly a VP44 issue. But these are just educated guess without actual testing. - air filter question
