not surging yet!
That points to the issue that your alternator might have a bad diode creating AC waveform. What you doing is covering up the AC noise using tin foil. So I would suggest you have the alternator bench tested for diode function. Because even 1 bad diode could leak AC into the power.

Truck Was Running Fine Suddenly Won't Start
P1698 code is from the fact it not able to communicate between the ECM & PCM over the CCD Network... Check your wiring sockets and connectors for being good and tight...

Apps sensor
I'm talking about this old write up which is wrong... http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-maintenance/357-apps-reseting.html Which explained here... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/apps/apps-adjustment.htm As you'll find out I got a full instructions on Timbo install... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/apps/timbo-install.htm

53 block article
53 Blocks are rather common... But the weird part is that I've seen completely stock truck crack the block and then seen big HP/TQ out of 53 block and live a very long life of 500K or more miles... http://www.stamey.info/Truck/Cummins53BlockFAQ.htm

A fire chief wrestles with front-line apparatus time-outs due to EPA Diesel Emissions
I think the whole DPF system in the entire system is bad... Like a lot of people I know don't drive long hand and drive alot of dirt roads in the mountains where roads speeds don't allow for regen process to occur. So if the DPF is plugging up and your 60 miles from town up a dirt road what are you going to do? No cell service? Walking is not a option? At any point the system is hazardous... As for EMS/Fire if your vehicle breaks down or goes limp mode that can be the difference of a lawsuit, dearth, or serious injury! Once again I think that any kind of system that can put the vehicle in limp more, shutdown, etc is just plain hazardous to anyone... Another example say you transporting a injury person to safety say from the mountains into town and DPF system cut you out... Just bad... One of the few reasons I will not give up my 24V 2nd Dodge Cummins... Just like a thread I posted a while back where the tire pressure sensor on a Motorhome disabled the engine in a blind corner and left hime stranded in the lane in this blind corner...

Apps sensor
Dodge Factory Service Manuals is where I got most of them... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php And yes that's exactly how the APPS sensor is wired to the ECM... Take notice there is NO direct connection to the PCM. This why I don't suggest doing the voltage adjustment like most sites/forum suggest because it will make matter MUCH worse!

What tires can i fit?
True... I just tend to think about majority of people live in the city and do a lot of start and stop driving in town... This is where it goes down hill... But yeah your right once the vehicle is rolling and can keep it rolling you will gain or keep the MPG's but getting caught in heavy traffic it can bite back...

Pin 2 would be grounded in THROTTLING. Pin 6 would be grounded in IDLE.

Edge Comp
I've heard the same thing something about voltage diffences in the MAP sensor... I agree with Whitelightnin' give Edge a call they will tell you for sure...

Oil Pressure Sending Unit
Actually there is a difference... High idle is a flash yes be there do not reprogram the ECM/PCM at all all they do is ENABLE the high idle function and that all... As for taking a software update then you end up with all the goofy problem hence the oil pressure gauge become a idiot light.

What tires can i fit?
Sorry to say it won't... The RPM's might drop but your adding more rotational mass, more rotational resistance (tread face is wider). Just shaving 22-25 pound of weight off the tires will gain you 1-2 MPG... So what you gain in getting the RPM's down you'll lose in the rotational mass and rotational resistance of the tires. You'll gain more by actually changing the gears... Think about it ricers tires weigh like 25-30 pounds... Mine weight 60 pounds... And I know 315 are pushing nearly 100 pounds... Now you'll say you can roll them round easy... Get a axle to stick on the hub and the turn the axle without a lever device and you'll find larger tires are hard to twist. But now do this with a lighter tire and you'll find it much easier.

2002 24v missing
ECM & APPS Calibration Disconnect the batteries and leave disconnected for at least 30 minutes. Now reconnect the batteries. Turn key to ON position. Without starting engine, slowly press throttle pedal to floor and then slowly release. This step must be done (one time) to ensure accelerator pedal position sensor calibration has been learned by ECM. If not done, possible DTC’s may be set.

12V switched power source - hookup
What I did for key power source is tapped one of the switched +12V fuses in the cab and ran it to a relay as a trigger and powered the relay from the battery so now I've got a key switch +12V power source that does no harm to the stock wiring and such.

Parking lights OUT
Parking lamps and turn signals are 2 different circuits really. Turn signals should as ISX shows in his video above. As for the parking lights there should a separate fuse. You might download the wiring diagram to take a peek... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=128 Edit...

General fuel faq's
Yeah DiPricols were the cheapest gauge at $40 bucks but the rumor I'm hearing is that there is problems at DiPricol itsself. ISSPro is also a good gauge as well... Autometer is the most expensive gauge...

Truck Was Running Fine Suddenly Won't Start
Double check all you connectors under the hood. ECM and PCM then there is 3 connectors over the valve cover and check the plug in the PDC. Be careful not to strip the screw out in the PDC.

My decision
The only thing that you might watch for is possible CAT plugging at the worse case. The only other thing it might effect is the oxygen sensor. But I don't see it hurting anything as for engine wise... 256:1 should be fine.

Airdog water separator not draining water??
In 9 years of owning my truck with both stock and AirDog system (5 years) I've only seen water once (WIF light lit) in the all the years... I knew why because of the cheap mom & pop fuel station I got fuel at. But during my AD150 servicing I dump the entire contents of the WS filter in a bucket looking for water and never have. Also check the stock housing for water and never have found any again...

A lesson on Cetane/Timing
Yeah elshadow01 there is another article now on the site showing that BioDiesel is creating 400% more emission compared to petroleum diesel so what are you gaining... If you want to look at the emissions that are around you... Every time USFS (US Forest Service) lights a control burn in Idaho it can produce more emissions that entire state of California...
