Finally got gauges hooked up here is what I have!
(Shaking head) You should actually reduce you speed more than chasing a over drive gear unit... Vertical number is required HP. Horizonal number is road speed. Colored lines is drag coeffiency. Typical stock truck without oversize tires and no lift is about 0.48 in drag. Now look at the curve as you increase speed the wind drag grows exponentially. Now if you got a leveling kit or lift kit the drag co. will rise so will oversize tires.

Seafoam in a Common Rail
IPA (Rubbing Alcohol) then there is a pale oil too... http://www.telecheminternational.com/IPA_Reagent_ACS.PDF One of the members here suggested I try a can of the seafoam to try and correct my intermitted miss fire I have at idle. well the funny part is the day I added it seem like a it ran a bit different. No there was no 2 cycle oil in the fuel. But after that tank was done it done nothing to change performance. So I returned back to my 2 cycl oil and kept going...

Thoughts about VP44 timing...
There was a guy on tyhe internet here that managed to build a communication cord for the OBDII port ans was able to hook up to a laptop using some sort of software he was able to look at and edit the ECM directly like EFI Live like Chevy got... He had a web site up and I manage to capture few tidbits of information before he closed down his web site and this one graph is the only one that I capture before the site disappeared... (Sorry I don't have anymore!)

Would worn front shocks cause a vibration at 40mph but not on acceleration?
Then if thats so have both front tires check for balance and true... Then check the wheel bearings as well...
-
Clutch chatter or?
Well... I know mine is caused from fuel contamination... I had #6 injection line dribble down on the clutch and cause to slip now and then which in turn cause a hot spot... Which was shortly after I installed the clutch so my now is jerky or grab at launch now... I've gotten use to it... Same since I'm not going to pull the trans down to re-surface the flywheel and pressure plate to fix it...

Clutch chatter or?
Hot spots in the flywheel / Pressure plate? Oil or Fuel contaminated friction plate? (Typically got issues with slippage)

Manifold Bolts
Actually isn't it 12 bolts the hold the exhaust manifold on? Or are you talking about the Intake?
-
Finally got gauges hooked up here is what I have!
Shoot... a Turbo will last a very long time if you take care of it... I've got a 170K miles on mine... I'm sure there is other people that will chime in with more miles.. As for the VP44 if you going to tap it I would opt for the stealth plate...

The box under the cowling is a vacuum reservoir for the HVAC box functions.

U-joints? Bad shock(s) would produce a bouncy ride like a old Caddy....

Problem with low-beam headlights. Need suggestions.
Yeah the multi-function switch tends to fail so it best to replace that soon... Really scary to loose your headlights on a windy road... Yeah like W&F said buy new it not worth messing with used junk...
