exhaust manifold
Stock manifold is find for most everything... But if you out drag racing and looking to gain that extra few tenths then I might suggest a 3 piece manifold.

Radiator cap sucking in air
I've come across several bad caps missing the spring on the vacuum valve of the cap. As you would hold the cap in normally mounted position the valve would hang down and not close causing the radiator not to hold pressure. I've seen where upper rubber seals in the cap start to get little crakcs in them causing air to leak in. Worse yet seen radiator cap missing them out right.. Damaged radiator necks it possible cracked, deformed, or just damaged it will not seal correctly and draw from the bottle. How is the hose to the bottle is the hose damaged? Is the bottle damaged on the draw tube if its it will spit coolant into the bottle be never draw it back up... See this one too...

Very weird problem
From the above link Hmmm... Maybe you should correct the noise issues than trying to cover it. Being the alternator noise is caused from bad diode(s) and APPS sensor noise cause from bad grounds... I still say most trucks ran for over 8-10 years without a filter and now all of a sudden need one... something is broken and you covering it up...

3 cylinder high idle
Parking brake or E brake is what you set... The service brake is the pedal you push to stop the vehicle from rolling... I've the got the same setup...

Front spring replacement
I've also done the droop method to add a leveling kit to a 3rd Gen... But it would fo been easy to change a set of springs... Just take you time support the vehicle well before you start with the axle. Then also keep a jack under the axle to raise or lower as you disassemble/reassemble.

None that I found... I've ran it nearly 100K miles (actual 90K o far). [*]Will not plug filters (2-3 micron) [*]Will not foul injectors with soot. After 70K+ miles of 2 cycle oil. After burn WEO/WMO (Ash deposits) You be the judge... As you can see the 2 cycle oil is a safe additive to use in your fuel where WEO/WMO, WVO, ATF contain ash and will build up on your injectors. Where 2 cycle oil is ashless and will not damage you fuel system...

Fan control switch
Pretty simple... Replace the fan resistor on the passenger side and replace the fuel sender... No codes needed to be checked...

Should I be afraid of the RE47 transmission?
Good point... Caj has a lot of miles on that TQ Conv...

Very weird problem
If it was me I would reset the codes and take for another spin and recheck and see if they come back...
-
Very weird problem
both codes are independent of each other... 500 is from wheel spin237 is from low voltage at the map sensor

Do a MSDS look up through WalMart to get the information then it should list who produces the products. http://msds.walmartstores.com/

The coldest I've gone down to was -20*F... I think beyond that you pushing your luck... Even by Chevron's standards my fuel should of been a solid brick in the tank. I don't suggest doing this unless you got a back up plan... In my neck of the woods this is a very dangerous thing to do without a fall back plan. No cell service and some roads get little to no traffic...

As far as the research I did on the Super tech it uses the very same PPD chemicals as normal #2 diesel which was a shocker for me... Like you I don't put my full trust in it but I know it got to make a effect how much... I don't know! ADDON: After searching the web rapidly and reading a few pages from different companies you'll find all petroleum base oils (engine, gear, 2 cycle etc) all have to have a PPD added to allow it to perform in cold weather. It the synthetic oil that don't require on because of the simple point they are not produced from a petroleum base (no wax).

who wants to rebuild thier VP44????
Totally understand why VP44 are at least $1,000.00 a pop. If you look at the money put down to pay for the test bench. Wow! But this where I grey area start for me... I would love like hell to get a copy of the VP44 rebuild manual so I can understand more about the VP44 pump.

SuperTech actually is PennzOil and no its not synthetic... Just good ol' fashion petroluem oil. Now going back a few year and remembering the stuff I did research on back in 2006-2007. As for SuperTech Unversial 2 Cycle Oil it has a pour point of -40*F. Normal winterized diesel at least here in Idaho has a pour point of -20*F. The the reason why synthetic 2 cycle shouldn't be use is because since all synthetic oil hav no parafin base oil in it... It had no reason to use a pour point depressant (PPD) which all petroluem oil must have to keep them from gelling. As for the effect 2 cycle oil has on fuel it not very clear as for gelling. But this is the way I look at it... If you got a jar of water you know the water is going to freeze at 32*F. Now take a jar of salt water you know the freeze point of salt water is below that of normal water. But it depends on how much salt is in the salt water. Now mix the salt water and normal water together and you know the salt water will have effect but how much is unknown. Now with that said replace water with diesel fuel and salt water with 2 cycle oil and you'll now understand my thoughts and theory of 2 cycle oil in the winter time. So if normal diesel is -20*F for a pour point and 2 cycle oil is -40*F surely it got to have a effect..
