Replaced VP44 and Lift Pump Truck won't start! HELP!!!!
Some where you got a air leak into the low pressure side. Since your dealing with all the old school banjo bolts double check all your sealing washers and be sure they are in place. Then if there is any fuel leaking most likely that is your air leak. Now that said there might be a seal leak problem on the suction side with the quick connector. Tip: Park the truck nose down and see if the problem disappears... If so then its a for sure air leak.

Is the Rear Wheel ABS system functional?

Inspection on the 96
Nope nothing so far with ours... Just when you get a misfire code check your vacuum lines not the spark plugs...

Well that strange... Double check the front end again using a pry bar and check the ball joints for movement. Verical movement is fine but left/right movement is bad. 4WD axles have ball joint that do not articulate. It basically a round rod in a casing not a ball stud. Rather odd but yes offset ball joints will correct that but the tire / alignment shop would have to install them so they can set the chamber during the assembly process.

Hmmm. I would get ahold of the alignment shop again being they should have a warranty on there work. Let them look at it.

Track bar
So far my cheapy from RockAuto is doing good... But I got to admit my Cooper STT 265/75 R16's put a lot of stress on the track bar...

Oil Filter mount R & R advice?
Yes the oil filter mount has a oil cooler on the back side that acts as a oil cooler bathed in engine coolant. So yes you must drain the coolant...

tranny trouble
I would most likely park it... At this point you could get it rebuilt but drive it longer and you will have a major failure...

Ummmm... You not a fully loaded at gross truck weight? There is no need for 80 PSI in the tires... Give you example... My Truck weights Front Axle 4,420#Rear Axle 3,040#Total -- 7,460# Tire Capacity 3,412# @ 80 PSI (Cooper STT 265/75 R16 Load Range E) 4,420# / 2 = 2,210# per tire front axle.5,200# / 2 = 2,600# per tire at GAWR (Front) 2,210# / 3,412# = 64% of tire capacity in weight2,600# / 3,412# = 76% of tire capacity at GAWR (Front) 80 PSI x 64% = 51 PSI Inflation pressure for the front.80 PSI x 76% = 60 PSI Max Inflation for GAWR (Even though tire is rated to 80 PSI) 3,040# / 2 = 1,520# per tire rear axle.6,084# / 2 = 3,042# Per tire at GAWR (rear) 1,520# / 3,412# = 44% of tire capacity in weight3,042# / 3,412# = 89% of tire capacity at GAWR (rear) 80 PSI x 44% = 35 PSI Inflation for the rear tires.80 PSI x 89% = 71 PSI Max inflation for GAWR (Even though tire is rated to 80 PSI) So over inflating tires does nothing for MPG's but it makes for a very rough ride and wears the center of the tread out rapidily. Oh yeah reduce your 2 cycle oil to 128:1 or 1 oz for every 1 gallon of fuel 1.5 quarts is a bit too much...

Oil Filter mount R & R advice?
Not that I'm aware of its just a bolt on item. The only thing I think you might look into is the oil lines that pass into and out of the cooler is ther O-rings on them? If so you might consider getting those too. But since I've never pulled a oil cooler I'm not sure... So I'll be learn from you as well.
