Should always keep the stock filter! More filters are always better. As for FASS 150 I've got another one in the yard that failed in under 100 miles. Yup! You heard correctly. The customer got a brand new FASS 150 and VP44 and just driving back home from the store in Riggins and it died in front of my place. Towed him in and sure enough the FASS 150 has ZERO PSI. The VP44 is dead as well with P0216 code and P1689 code. Now I'm doing the warranty work.

Personally I would rather keep the AirDog. I'm on my 3rd. First pump lasted 250k miles and 11 years. Second pump was a 3rd gen pump and barely lasted 7k miles seal failed diesel fuel washed out the bearings. Towed home for $450 bucks. CURRENT - 4G AirDog 165 pump head mounted to my filter base. Zero issues. Mechanical pump I feel are too far from the fuel tank. (Personal). The other problem is there is no way to reprime if you get air in the system. There is no priming pump to refill the system. Pumps are design to PUSH fuel, not to suck on a 20 foot long straw. Give it a whirl some time put a bottle of beer on your rear bumper and stuff a 1/2" hose in the bottle and suck, boy, suck! You'll understand after trying. Always best to have the pump as close as possible to the fuel tank. The Current job I got in the yard his previous pump was a belt driven and got fed up with fuel pressure problems (regulator sticking open and dropping the fuel pressure) and went back to FASS 150 (even warned the owner about this). That pump last barely 100 miles and the FASS is at ZERO PSI and failed took the VP44 for the ride with P216 and P1689 codes. (His truck died 2 days after warning him 100 feet from my driveway.) Sent the pump to FASS to be replaced and the VP44 back to Power Driven Diesel. Even while on the the phone with FASS I showed them how to fix this problem so they might actually take me serious about striking filters tires flinging debris at the filters and pump. I explained about anything hang below the frame for offroad use and being in the damage path of the tires. Hence while motors are ruined with snow and water slung at them for years, filter being pulled off and hit by debris. But who knows...

Spec on oil pressure is... 10 PSI at idle 30 PSI at 2000 RPMs ... this is on a fully warmed engine.

I believe the COVID-19 is real but as for death tolls no. Like @Wet VetteEileens daughter got COVID, then her son got it, then her ex-husband got it as well. 14 days later like the normal flu bug its done and over. Now those 3 have lived past it. I still do what I can to stay out of the COVID yeah I wear a mask while in the bigger cities. Even a good friend here that runs the Chevron Station hes got the COVID, his son and wife as well. 14 days later he's back to work no problem. Ask @Wet Vette best friend last night about hospital numbers. She says it packed with COVID some deaths but lot are just going home. Like Eileen's daughter she went in with issues of breathing but then told to go home. Then if you look up the Canadian Study about Cannabis might shock you too. https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilyprice/2020/06/27/researchers-are-looking-at-cannabis-as-a-potential-way-to-prevent-covid-19/?sh=4fbdcc12d885 https://medcitynews.com/2020/07/canadian-researchers-believe-cbd-could-help-to-fight-covid-19-infections/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/are-new-cannabis-strains-key-to-fighting-covid-19-these-alta-researchers-think-so-1.5018962 So, personally, I don't think we are getting COVID any time soon... Herbalist to the end.

Just thinking about all the other trucks I've gotta deal with and get crossed up. Some times I get crossed up get interrupted with a phone call and get caught thinking about a different year truck. Totally my bad. @JAG1Mary Jane is typically at night not morning...

Make sure to take it to a shop that can press it on and off. Like a few members here found out if your doing it with a hammer you most likely damage the bearing and shorten its life span. I pulled my driveshaft and took it in and had it checked for true and carrier bearing replacement done. Yeah it cost a bit to have the carrier and u-joints replaced but it was done. Still going on that bearing. I think its a SKF bearing IIRC...

I've got nothing good to say about Biden... Yes, you could text me and the the cellphone would pick up the text then the cellphone notifies my computer I have a text message and then I can just click the notification on the computer and read and reply to the text without ever picking up the phone. The phone just need to be in WiFi range and the computer can sense it. I could leave my phone in the bedroom on the charger and still be in front of the computer and use it. Reverse I could be in the living room but need to change over to YouTube from the computer. I could grab my cellphone use it like a trackpad and mouse over and control the computer to start youtube or video connection to my TV. I can even type URL address on my phone and have it entered on the computer. Either way I can control both devices in any direction.

LOL... I got a huge chuckle about the plug share link. None of those places are outfitted with proper charging station period. Like the Riverside RV park. That is a full RV park right now there is no way to reach a plug if you wanted. Just came back from Lewiston and seen they are full. Like Canyon Pines near me is a RV park but they are full right now with storage of RV's. No way to reach a plug if you wanted. Hartland Inn in New Meadows does not have any charging station. It's a motel. I've driven past there just other day. Grangeville again I know exactly where that Motel 8 is but never seen any charging station. Right along the highway. I just past that 2 days ago heading to Lewiston. Shore Lodge in McCall is a possible spot but never checked on it. I'm going to check on my local places to confirm. Now the listing in Ontario, OR is correct there is a charging station. Still a 2.5 hour drive to get to. I watch that being build every day I took MoparMom to dialysis. I know exact where both are.

New Meadows Idaho is possible of -30*F and -40*F temp rare but does happen. Mostly comes from Montana direction. We at least get some minus weather every winter like last winter only like -2 to -5*F. I was watching the color temp map (NOAA) and seen @Me78569how the cold coming down out of Canada and how it will spread out.

LOL... My neighbor which is @Wet Vetteson @Jthorand he's a diesel runner too. 7.3L Ford Powerstroke straight piped. Then me with my 2002 Cummins straight pipe. My next neighbor either direction is quite distance away and not even heard. So my neighbor just knows to get ready we are heading for work since @Jthor is my apprentice working under me. Typically I don't idle very long just enough to clear the glass if needed. Even its +19*F this morning I would just start and roll out.

Not hard at all. Really it just names on software... Adobe Photoshop $240 -> GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) - FREE Microsoft Office $140 -> Libre Office (Included with Ubuntu for FREE) List goes on... Linux Software is FREE. 62,372 different apps all for FREE. The list is actually even larger! Just depends on how big you make your repository. Even a bonus my cellphone is already tied to the computer so if my phone rings, I'm prompted. If I get a text message its displayed on my computer. If you look up toward the top right the cellphone icon is in my notification bar. Ubuntu Linux and Android Linux work hand in hand. Even back up my cellphone if I want too.

Ummm... I'm using Quickbooks on Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1... Might check again being Intuit Products can be used on browser... https://quickbooks.intuit.com/self-employed/ Even if forced to Windows, I can use Virtual Box for my Windows 7... https://www.virtualbox.org/ This allows you to load Windows in a Virtual Machine. This makes the Windows Bulletproof. Its all behind my Linux firewall and don't even use a anti-virus on Windows. Even if I DID get a virus it will NOT infect my Linux because the virtual box is virtual hard drive and does not infect the Linux. Just delete the virtual drive and start over. I can even back up that image just after install and flash it back in action in less than a few minutes. Less down time period. I have zero network connection to Windows unless I permit it. Matter of fact since I upgraded hard drives I've never reloaded Windows 7 on my virtual box for over a year now. Found Linux versions of everything...

Level 2 and 3 are basically same MPG wise. 4 and up well that changes things. Level 2 I'm using for traction purpose. like this morning its +19*F yup very slick around here.

Touche` I grab the 3 CYL high idle and exhaust brake in under 10 minutes the coolant is 170*F and the ice gone from the windshield. I can plug in at home but once on the road there is no where to plug in. Again the high idle is to my rescue and I can warm up the truck faster than plugging in.

The element is a 750 watt 120 VAC element. 750 Watts = 120 Votls x 6.25 Amps. Heck its +19*F (-7*F) outside and the truck is outside in he cold I won't even think about a block heater till 0*F (-17*C). Even then I'd only plug in hour before I need to leave. Parked outside the heat is wasted in the into the air. If I was parked in the unheated shop I would plug it in and leave it being the heat is not wasted but heating the shop a few degrees.

That's the stupid part everyone thinks electric vehicles are free. Someone is paying for that power either going to be a rise in taxes or just your home power bill. trust me when I'm sitting here its a mere +63*F in the house, +19*F outside, I'm running out of firewood. Yeah I know this month is going be a $200 plus a month just to keep warm, now toss in a massive battery for a vehicle, that draws power like my electric dryer or my heat pump. You can safely figure in just doubling my power bill. Regardless your still paying for the electricity some how. Power plant still emit CO2 into the air just as much as you drive your electric car around just emitted from the power plant not your car. Still not fixing the issues of reducing CO2 emission. Still in all HP (fuel) to HP (electric) is going to require X amount of amp hours (electric) stored to travel. For mountain area like where I'm at just not effective. I'm now seeing electric cars once in awhile out run there charge and left stuck. Currently if you leave Boise there is NOTHING north to recharge a electric vehicle I know Ontario, OR has a few charging stations but nothing north of Boise. Lewiston ID I've not seen any charging stations as of yet unless they are hidden down a side street. Kind of like when I was buying my truck there wasn't any diesel fuel available in my area but maybe one or two stations and expensive. Now with the amount of diesel vehicles diesel fuel is available just about every where. I almost opted for a 60 fuel tank where purchasing my 2002 Dodge.

If I ever got you to jump ship to Linux it would be even faster. Windows is extremely heavy system load wise. A peek at my Conky panel with all my system stats. Fun part is this machine was built back in 2006 with AMD AM2 processor (4 core). Still quick! Take notice I've got basically 16 GB of RAM (1.2 used for Video RAM). Only need 4 GB for just working in Ubuntu Linux. If I fire up Windows 7 (Virtual Box) it will suck up every last drop of RAM instantly. As you can see I've got my 250GB SSD Drive on my ROOT folder so only my read only files are there this will extend the life of the drive. Being most SSD are good for 100,000 writes to every sector. As you also see Linux created a 2GB swap file but no used at all. My writing drive is the mechanic hybrid which is a 1 TB in size. Then my Backup drive which Linux does automatically every daily is a older 2 TB drive. Yes the Hybrid drive works great for long sequential reading where random is still not stellar vs straight mechanical.

Remember your Ford van head is a incomplete chassis since it is the RV manufacture might of added other subsystems to that. Still will keep you slightly in the dark. Like My old 1976 Dodge Jamboree had the factory fuse clip under the dash. Now the rest of the subsystem was behind the seat no wiring map or labels on anything. Lucky park my Dad was smart man and shoved all the manuals in a small cupboard above the fridge. Another thing you can try is searching for that year make and model of RV on the internet you might find PDF'ed manual for the RV side. I managed to do this for my current 2000 Jayco and got every manual for everything including the RV manual. Take a peek...

You've got a leak some where. Double check your CAD axle system really common for vacuum leaks in the CAD system. Vacuum should be instant. No waiting to build. Vacuum leaks will make everything slow to react.

Yes a replacement screen from Edge would work for any vehicle... Just run out to Amazon and get a any random screen is what I meant. That won't work.

Actually... The tail light switch (brake pedal) that can be reset and re-used. There is a ratchet kind of stem adjustment I managed to open that switch up and extend the plunger and re-assemble with no issues. As for the Parking Brake light on the dash its the cable slack adjustment needs to be tighten a bit more. The pedal is not fully returning up. Be careful rusted cables will do this same thing but as you adjust you just start dragging the parking brakes because the cable is too rusted out and sticky.

Kind of like myself... Bought new in October 2002 for $32,000 with only 43 miles on the odometer. Now Been back and forth to Boise- Ontario so many times in 5 years that I've now racked 424k miles (roughly 1.1k to 1.5k a week) on the odometer. Engine is stronger that a 5th gen (500 HP to the ground). Still going strong. Mine is another that will be around till the frame rust in half.

Forgive me on my last post think about 12V 2nd Gen I don't know why...

The old Edge Products elbow is a fixed boost elbow which typically stops about 35 to 37 PSI. Ran it for years and good for that tuner only truck with stock injectors. Now I'm running a China boost control like @IBMobile and works OK. Better design but never really got it adjusted. Being I've still be able to go to 47 to 49 PSI on my HX35/40 (60/60/12). +150 HP injectors and +180 HP Quadzilla. Heck my last trip to Lewiston, ID I filled in Lewiston made it back home with a bit less than 7/8 of tank remaining. Power wise I turned it up to kill and the tires had problems holding the pavement in town. Even @Wet Vettecommented about the tires kept squeaking every time I launched from traffic lights. I know I'm rambling... But @leetyanother way to look at Quadzilla level and better way of explaining. LEVEL 0 - Stock Quadzilla is turned OFF and stock ECM program is running. 1 - Valet Mode 2- Stock with Timing - No mater what your fuel map is it will use the defuel section up to 100% stock power and stop! 3 - CANBus fuel Only. You full fuel map is used but NO wiretap. 4 to 15 this is all wiretap modes. Divided up so you casn have slices of 10% of wiretap. I typically set for 7 and that gives 25% slices for wire tap. Typically now I use level 2 as my daily driver. Very smooth fuel, EGT max out at 1,100*F. Good traction even under heavy throttle in wet conditions. Snow can still spin fairly easy at even 2 or ZERO.

Most likely proprietary to Edge Products. The display has to be able to decode the video information properly. I seriously doubt just any random screen will work.
