MPG fooler - Design phase
I don't suggest using a rheostat (pot) for the fooler unless you have a way to monitor the IAT temps. Because it doesn't take much to go either way... But 100-120*F is a good normal starting temperature and work your way up. I think 140*F is going about the high mark of normal.

Site question
Be aware there is Wide series and a narrow series now...

MPG fooler - Design phase
Like ISX said you want it to see higher IAT temps. Also you need to use a winter front as much as possible. The actual warm air under the hood actually help the MPG numbers. Where colder air tends to degrade the out come...

Codes
Problem is that OBDII standard where suppose to be generic from 0000-0999 then model specific from 1000-9999. But it didn't quite work that way. So without knowing a lot about the truck or vehicle the codes are coming from make it hard for me to look up. Basically did a search on my site for the codes and they popped up in the 3rd Gen (assuming this is the vehicle)

First major overhaul
How much trailer weight (and GCW) are you pulling? Do you have a pyrometer?
-
First major overhaul
Ummm... Save some money... Just do a compression test (not a blow by) and see where your at before ripping apart a perfectly good engine. Most of these trucks will travel a long ways past 500K milestone before needing any kind of work. But the CR engine are known for serious problems with leaking injectors that cause engines to fail as early as 100K miles if not dealt with. So if you pull the injectors have the pop tested and do a compression test you save huge amount of money. You may want to talk these people first... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/milestone/milestones.htm These guys never had a overhaul yet...

pile of codes and a no bus and a confused owner
You could for testing reasons but I wouldn't for a permanent fix... It should work for just seeing if it will start and run but you might get some weird behavor and error codes.

how do the mice get in?
Problem is your still baiting with food again bring them in the truck. What you need is some thing to repell them from even getting into the truck like peppermint oil, mothballs, ultrasonic box, etc...

please tell me more about 2 cycle oil
Low miles... Hmmm... MPG loss... 1. Dragging brakes2. underinflated tires3. Aggressive tire tread4. Oversize tires5. TQ Conv holding tight? Not slipping?6. Excessive speed

please tell me more about 2 cycle oil
Just don't mix other products with 2 cycle oil. ISX is running completely without AFC and fuel plate and getting 25-27 MPG... But also running the 2 cycle oil.
