Come to Idaho... we got those critters wondering around Hell's Canyon... But rare to see one. I'll admit that is a killer picture...

BHAF
No. Like the video shown a few post back the outlet of the turbo is going to be 300-400*F before the intercooler regardless of the input temperature. So the intercooler is more important than worry about a cold air intake. Like ISX said back at... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/threads/6736-BHAF?p=69498#post69498 No. You can add a piece of 4" exhaust pipe in the neck to stiffen the plastic up more. But in all the miles of using a BHAF still no issues with it popping off.

Vacuum pump seal
Hua? Disconnect all the power steering lines from the power steering pump. Disconnect the oil line ans the vacuum line. Pull any brackets holding the power steering pump. Pull 2 bolts on the gear case. Remove and rebuild. Re-assemble in reverse order.

What fuel pressure do you run if you have a gauge?
With 30K miles on the AirDog filters I'm now down roughly 1.5 to 2 PSI from my 19 @ idle to 17 @ WOT. It's hard to tell exactly because of the cold fuel is lower in pressure anyways.

Do it yourself steering work
Not to bad really. Either use a pickle fork or a BFH to get the tapper shaft released. No, I don't hit the nut or threads but the knuckle where the ball stud passes through. After changing them I usually rig up a pair of 4 foot 2x4 to the tires and measure the front and rear toe to get it at least close then take it to a shop and have it aligned. It might be just smarter to skip all this and have the shop install and align it in one shot.

rebuilding NV 4500
Most people tow way too fast too... Just because it can doesn't mean its going to hold up.

12 Valve boost increase or lack thereof..
Put a choke cable on it like old 2 1/2 ton military trucks. Pull the knob out to cut fuel.

What mods/maintenance do you guys have planned in the future?
I guess I could wash my truck It cover in a ton of mud and salt right now.

What mods/maintenance do you guys have planned in the future?
I've already had enough side show work. [*]Blew up my turbo So the most I would be doing is typical monthly inspections and maintenance of the truck. One of my biggest problems right now is getting the salt washed off the truck soon. I might do that tomorrow if the weather is descent.

12 Valve boost increase or lack thereof..
I've seen it on a VE pump engine where the throttle cable was stretched enough that the throttle only traveled about 70-80% and wasn't giving a good WOT experience. I shimmed the cable with a ziptie... Owner is happy now...

12 Valve boost increase or lack thereof..
I tend to agree with ISX you need to check the fuel pressure. I know on the P7100 its not a damage problem but a performance issue. You might have good filters and overflow valve but maybe just maybe the pump isn't strong anymore? All this would be seen on a fuel pressure gauge. You could install a 0-60 boost gauge as a fuel pressure and be able to check you pressure over speed.

For ISX and the 12V crowd...
It reminds me of my teenage years with Mopar muscle cars. Now we are doing all over again with diesel trucks. What's even more strange is my first car was a 1973 Dodge Charger (hence my nickname). But the 1973 Dodge Charger was the first year of smog control on the muscle cars. But had all the mild bonuses of electronic ignition and a few other nice mods compared to earlier models. Just like 2002 was the last of the first series smog controlled Cummins diesels with electronic controls. So when you look at it that way I got the best of both vehicles for the time. Now to make the Cummins last another 10 years and hope for a new technology to replace the common rail fuel system.

How's AD/Raptor Treating Folks on Warranty Now?
Wow! That's sad. :nono:I usually bend over backwards to call back the Caller ID number and make sure I'm finished with people. But to just hang up on someone that just really poor manners.

2013 Ford diesel accidentally put gas instead of diesel......
I hate to say it most times out of ten even with the newer Cummins engine and gasoline typically does some serious damage to the engine in a short order. So for your friend I would purge the system and have everything re-tested again. (Compression, injectors, fuel pump, etc.) Also remember most of the fuel system rely on the lubricant of the fuel to lubricate the injector parts and such now with running gas through it all I wonder how much galling and damage there is to parts. Kind of like dumping diesel fuel in the crankcase it will wipe out the bearings pretty quick.

Weird Hot Wire alternator. ATTN Mike Nel.
No that's a Ultima just like the OP's alternator right down to the part number. What I was showing is the typical Dodge field plug in back compared to his hack field leads. Even peek at my alternator test video. I've got the same plug. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6w0WF5wr2g
