starter soiliniod fuse blowing
Double check the brwon wire down on the starter for shorts and follow it back up to the PDC (Power Distribution Center). You might end up pulling the starter and checking for internal shorts. If this is beyond you then you might end up just replacing the starter... Maybe but Maybe someone here might have a little more to add or suggest.

Power steering/Brake booster issues

VP44 HELP in Nicholasville/LEX KY Area
Well you VP44 is for sure gone...1st smoking gun - All the codes.2nd Smoking gun - The poor performance and lack of power.Now this might address the failed part by why did it fail? Did you actually test the fuel pressure?

fuel pressure gauge install question.
The only reason why not is because it doesn't have the isolator and its not desired by the gauge manufacture either. Also it really couldn't be pre-made because of the location of the tap point. It might be all the way under the truck at the AirDog / Raptor or it might be in this case at the stock fuel filter. But get the bit and pieces isn't bad it just most gauge dealer shove the isolator in the kit too.

Mopar1973Man's Crankcase Vent Modification
Still got my vent pipe in place... It seems to always put 1 drop of oil on the floor every time I park in the shop. But as for the oil loss there is none. It's always full of oil.

Death wobble while braking?
Never assume anything... :smart:Fire176969 I'm glad you not hurt or caused any damage with your truck. As for the Death wobble it seem more common with oversized tires and lift kits than with stock trucks. But yes even stock trucks can get it as well and all front suspension part have to be looked at closely. (Ball joint, tie rods, steering shock, shocks, track bar, etc.)

fuel pressure gauge install question.
Nope... A friend on the local fire Dept. I stopped in to check out a performance problem and found a P0216 code. So doing the next step we installed a fuel pressure gauge and so far he's got 15 at Idle not bad but I didn't drive it. So He'll report back his finding by next fire meeting.Katoom you must of not seen the tapped banjo bolt?

ABS question
No you can't unplug it because then that axle has 0 MPH speed and ABS is lit. The only way to test it with a DRBIII tool from the dealer or a very expensive Snap On tool that might be able to see wheel speed. Even then you might find the wrong speed sensor and replace it and then find out the new one is still offset from the other good one still tripping the ABS light. Hence why I suggest replacing both at the same time. As for prices RockAuto.com has then in stock but still $89 and $112 for left and right...

First Wood In Months
Chris (my buddy) pick up mine be mistake and said WOW! That thing sure cuts nice. My saw is most likely about 18 years old now and never had the spark plug changed and never had the air filter changed (just cleaned and re-oiled). Sthl 046 Magnum... Sitting by this monster Red Fir Tree.I've cut some seriously big trees...Yes all I burn is soft wood here. There is lots of it. (Pine, Red Fir, White Fir, Tamarack, Spruce, Lodge Pole, etc.)If everything comes together this weekend I'll take my video camera up and get some video of the crew and the beavers at work.

Slightly disappointed with MPG's
There is other weather factor that play a roll. Did you have a tail wind that day? Like towing 65 MPH with a 10 MPH tailwind will be like towing at 55 MPH. Maybe this is why you didn't see a change. I've seen some really odd and unusual MPG numbers going and coming from places then realize there is weather factors to consider. Like one morning drive to New Meadows, ID at 48*F netted me lower MPGs than going the same day in the afternoon at 95*F. The warmer weather netted me higher MPG's.So I see days where MPG are lower because of wind and temperature and other days are higher. So don't base your finding on only one trip do it for a few years then base it you find there is a considerable difference.Like for me its 241 miles round trip to Ontario OR to do a bit a of shopping...241 Miles / 55 MPH = 4.3 Hours (4 Hours 18 Minutes) 241 Miles / 65 MPH = 3.7 Hours (3 Hours 42 Minutes)4.3 Hours - 3.7 Hours = 0.6 Hours (36 minutes difference)So I'll I got to do is leave 36 minutes earlier... (No big deal).But now going slow I net better MPG's and typical save $15 bucks going slower.
