What would you do, If you were in my Shoes?
Heck it might be as easy a just changing out a TQ Conv and a flexplate... For all you know the rattling noise could be the torque converter coming loose on the flexplate or the flex plate cracked. (Random guess)

Pipe Insulation
ISX being scientific here with calculation and excel sheet... I just laid the foam down cut through it at 45* angle measure the short side of the pipe. If I was just a tad long the foam would compress for 1/8" to 1/4" screw up that are long.

Well MY VP44 died today
You might reconsider where your buying fuel at... Then you might make sure your running a quality fuel filter with water seperating qualities... Some of the cheap part store filters are just paper so they will pass water...
-
Early shifting and surging??
If you need a noise filter then you got a alternator / ground issues... Remember most of these truck ran for 10 years now without this stuff and now it needs a filter... Something has failed. Don't cover it up with filter, extra ground or wiring mods...

Pipe Insulation
That's the thing I know the bathroom happens to be the coldest room in my RV plus like you mention about freeze ups I've bee there done that with my old Dodge Jamboree. Needless to say I don't wan't to repeat that either. But like my orignal post I do see a conciderable waste of water trying to get hot water bathroom since its the longest run.

Fuel Pressure Gauge Hook-Up
Yeap the guys are right... :smart:Vulcan Performance sells the Push Loc Tees that have a 1/8" NPT hole or you can get the JIC fitting with a tapped 1/8 NPT port. You cohice.But you want you gauge away from the water hammer source (VP44) and protected with a needle valve (suggested) or snubber.

Mechanical FP Gauge - Air in line?
Here is the article about air pockets and water hammer... http://www.siouxchief.com/Resource_/ProductMedia/133/Water%20Hammer%20FAQ%204-04.pdf As for the snubber fittings a lot of people buy them but since they are not adjustable gauge failure seems to still occur. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-3279/ As for the isolators I think part of the failure problem is the isolator is trying translate the water hammer pulse and it phyiscally wears out the isolator till if fails. Another form of isolator failure you won't see but have to check for is the diaphragm/piston leakage where fuel is on both side and the seperation of fuel / anti-freeze is no longer.

Pipe Insulation
I know there is a few of you that might use your RV's through the winter time or just in cold temperatures. Like myself I wanted to keep propane bills low as possible, save water by not having to warm the pipe up again, and just prevent freezing if used in cold temps.So I went down to the local hardware store (C & M Lumber) and picked up several lengths of foam pipe insulation for the RV. You want to look for the insulation that has adhesive on the split part also RV you want 1/2" pipe insulation. It a pretty basic install cut cut to fit, slide the foam over the pipe, pull the cover tape and stick together.Now when it comes to cutting corners it will take some practice of cutting 45* angles and getting them to fit properly.

If you miss paths... You could buy a cheap carter lift pump from Napa and use normal barbed hose fittings. This will get you going again at least...

ALERT! Severe Weather
Interesting... Its very simular to SAR (Search And Rescue) packs... I'm geared a bit differently but typically the ATV got most of my stuff... Then both the trucks are rigged up with basic for road travel. But with sotrms like these you should be getting you property tied down and secured the best you can and consider leaving for safety. Like Flagmanruss I'm concerned about up there in Rhode Island... Rogan over there Virgina... There are many more but all you guys, gals, family be careful and be smart... MoparMom said she would say prayers for all you out there!
