Floor Jacks
Also make sure your using the right oil too... I got desparate once and used ATF on a jack and got it to work but over time the ATF degraded badly. So I had a hell of a time trying to purge all the ATF out and reload with a good grade of Hydraulic oil. Once I did this I got full travel again! As for air bubble in the system you might have to leave the fill plug out and carefull raise and lower a few times to get the air out. Like mine I got air caught in it fill it and shoved the rubber plug back in... Well never the less it only travelled about half way and then when I released (lower) it shot the plug out with air pressure... My jack is really old and needs to be replaced or I need to pull the welder out and weld it back together...:eek:

Ok... First off I dont have a error code list that is double digit. The only error code list I got is the OBD II P code list. Now as for the BRAKE/ABS light being up and what information you've given. The ABS system I assume on your truck is a 4 wheel ABS right? If so there is 3 tone rings and 3 speed sensors. The tone ring and speed sensor in the rear controls the speedometer. so if you speedometer is working then this one is fine... But there is 2 more tone rings and speed sensors buried on the front axle. Now at this point you going to have to replace both sensor to be sure. Here is what information I got on the ABS controller... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/abs/abs.htm As of the valve being open I'm not sure. It could be the result of the sensor failure. Speed sensor failure is really common.

Grid heater information
Don't get mixed up... The times shown in the list are BEFORE you start the engine. Then your looking at the post heating cycle which is very random at best...

Air Bags
Kind of wonder if the the 2 airbags are tee'd together or separate? If there a kit that tees together then I kind of doubt it will do much. But like ISX is thinking with seperated airbags you could tune the stance.

Injector upgrade
I think its my fault...(Hate to admit it!) I was using needle nose pilers to pull #1 connector tube and missed the outside and scratched the inside bore face where the high pressure tube seals. :bang: Well lets see if I can correct this problem tomorrow...:red:

apps 0121 and two stroke?
Wel las for mixing additive I high suggest against that... Because the PS is a cetane booster and tend to rate poorly on the HFRR scale. Now 2 cycle oil is a natural cetane reducer and true lubricant. So basically you shooting yourself in the foot. As for the P0121 the APPS sensor is going south for sure. You can try the APPS reset and clear the codes but if the code returns the APPS should be replaced. Ummm... You might check the error code book. The other code is a TPS (Gasser) http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/obd2-error-codes/error-codes.pdf Accelerator Position Sensor (APPS) Signal Voltage Too Low APPS voltage input below the minimum acceptable voltage.

Injector upgrade
Well... There in... But... Got the truck running and it runs well but when I got back to the shop and it was idleing it missing randomly. So I started looking for fuel leaks and found that #1 injector line is leak fuel right down the manifold and dripping off the back. But all in all it a good boost of power but the leak is my concern now...:rolleyes2:

help! tire issues
Typically most people install a leveling kit to gain that little bit of room. But remember larger tires time to rob you of the MPG number because of the enhanced rolling resistance and rotational mass.

Erratic boost
Ok... There is a few things to test out for this problem. Disconnect the Edge and rest you codes and take it out ofr a short drive and see if the codes come back if not them the Edge is to blame. If the codes come back even after the Edge is disconnected then your going to have to verify some wiing... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/map-sensor/map-sensor-codes.htm

Injector upgrade
The bomb bug bit me long ago... But i've got a mild goal that i want to reach which is 400 HP to the ground. Don't nee more than that being 400 HP is quite mean when driving on ICE. Or out on a muddy hill side pulling trees. After watching and studying the forum and people I found right at or around 400-450 HP is a good stopping point becasue you won't need turbo upgrade, or bunch of mods to keep thing from breaking... That why I had my eyes set on a set of RV275's so long is because is a mild upgrade in power but most claim a mild increase in MPG too...

VIRUS! Worm warning...
That like the other half switching to Linux. also because there is no need for Anti-virus or firewalls. But Linux and Mac both have the same problems... To fit into society you got to run Windows Apps (MS Office, etc) so in either case you got to run a emulator to fit back in the crowd and use windows software... (Yeah I went to Linux for a short time to see if it was better...) Then if you do hold out for Mac then you find all the software is more expensive and not as much available to the public. Like here where I'm at in Idaho there is nothing for Mac's at all... This is solely PC... I've had several call me regards to Mac repairs and software and found out they are stuck no one locally deals with hardware or software... So they sold the Mac and back to windows...
