Salvage yards, Pick a part, etc. LMC truck sells all new stuff. https://www.lmctruck.com/

Yup... That all I did use a tire calculator site. https://tiresize.com/calculator/

If it doesn't have the START leg then it will cutoff and disconnect during your start up. Then have to reconnect on every start.

Cleared up the noise issue at least...

Higher the cetane the more the retarding you would give. Lower the cetane the more advancement you would give. Higher the cetane the lower the BTU's. Lower the cetane the higher the BTU's. Dark green is low cetane (summer), light green is high cetane (winter fuel).

Personally stand alone gauges are more accurate. Again like ISSPro EV or EV2 gauges, Autometer, etc.

Quadzilla is the only tuner with full control of fuel and timing. You DO NOT require a screen. It can be ran headless. I do this off and on. 2 cycle oil you can pin me I'll help you a bunch being I'm one of the founder to 2 cycle oil usage.

Just trying to give another view that is workable and doesn't require swapping wheels, or looking for special parts. Too many people bad mouth the front axle steering and most of this is self inflicted damaged by other modification that people do that creates the failure.

ISSPro EV or ISSPro EV2 gauges are you best bet. I did the ISSPro EV2 they are USB programmable and do much more. Set warning lights, set the illumination, set a control relay, set the needle reaction speed. Etc...

Hence why I just went back to factory parts which lasted over 350k miles before failure. The biggest thing is no lifts or oversized tires and this will make the front end last much longer. The oversized wheels, wild offsets and lift kits tend to screw with the geometry of the axle causing part failures to occur faster. Not a problem I've got two shops and work on Dodges and Chevy trucks quite a bit. Even a few Fords now and then...

Already posted above...

Never know... Unless we try again.

Circumference... 109.9" roughly. 3.55 or 4.10 are the standards. Just for fun the 245/75 R16 I'm running is 95.7" for measurement.

Long way from me... Milepost 181... You down near Council, ID. I'm 15 miles south of Riggins, ID and 20 miles north of New Meadows, ID. Near the Pinehurst Trading post which is milepost 182. https://mopar1973man.com/contact/ <- directions link on this page. Might call Carolyn Friend - (208) 628-3441 she would have an idea for you for properties.

Must get guages... Boost, Fuel Pressure, Pyrometer, and Trans Temp (both manual or auto). Quadzilla Adrenaline is the best option. I use it more for MPG than power. I will admit I'm running 7 x 0.010 injectors and completely smoke free on level 3 and getting awesome MPG at 20 to 21 MPG now. Crank up the tuner with wire tap and this thing is a serious animal. I managed to wipe out 5th gear at 80 MPH. That top gear had over 400k miles and broke the teeth off to metal fatigue. To this day wide open could spin the tires in 3rd and 4th gears. That is a another trick I went down in tire size from 265/75 R16 to 245/75 R16 to change the final ratio to 3.69:1 to the ground this puts more power to the pavement but the tires are small enough to spin free when too much torque is applied and reduce the stress on the transmission. AirDog 165 are good pumps. I ran my AirDog 150 for over 250k miles and 13 years then last upgrade to a 4th gen AirDog 165 and still rolling at 410k on the clock miles. I went back to factory tie rods after 350k miles on the factory steering stuff. All NAPA steering. The Steering box was upgrade to quick ratio but should only be done with 31" or less tires DO NOT use a quick ratio with oversized tire or lift! I'm running Blue Top Steering box. Again 410k miles still rolling. Rear I left all factory just replace links on the swap bar gain NAPA parts. Upgrade to BHAF and leave the 4 inch exhaust alone. This is just perfect! Maybe... 2001 is the cut off date but there has been mix bags of people finding old and new gear case designs in the 2001. Making tab is easy and super cheap just need a fender washer. Grind to tear drop. Heads up the forum automagically creates a dotted underline for acronyms ans then if you hover with your mouse (desktop) it will show the meaning of the acronyms for you. If some thing you don't understand just ask all the crew here is extremely helpful and will dig up any information you might need.

I'm only trying to catch up right now. So, being the parking brake cable snapped, 2nd gear syncro is out and now with truck body damage needing to file insurance claim. So when I called about the claim I missed the boat and didn't change my title and forgot. It was under my Mom's and Dad's names. Now the DVM will not let me swap title names without lots of paperwork. Only after this I can file the claim with my insurance. Then Got the truck in my big shop on the two post and got the transmission back down to Weller yesterday. Now Trying to order brake cables for the rear. Then once the truck is running again I need to get all of Eileen's stuff from storage and bring it home. (Less 50 a month overhead). Eileen is still trying to finish out here disability filing I'm taking care of all the bills. Income is very unstable right now and the amount of travel and overhead need to be looked at and trimmed back some. Big load to handle for now but I'm been praying that the Good lord to guide me through this and heal my heart some. I did lose it all last night coming back from Boise. There is a song far away by Breaking Benjamin... This happens to be the last song that Mom happen to heard on the last trip to dialysis. Even to this day it still brings me to tears. Yup, even last night I totally last it before bed being tired and out of place being I'm still trying to get use to my new life of freedom. It does come with a certain amount of loneliness that is always there, that missing chunk. Still in all, I do not want Mom back knowing that it would only prolong her suffering. I must let her go. The Good Lord does not play games Mom always told me... So I'm suppose to be here. I have to accept that. The Good Lord would of not help me survive my bladder cancer battle to then take my life. Nope, I'm suppose to carry on Good Lord has many other plans for me, I know. Then I got all the bills Mom left me with that I've got to finalize out. Just going to take time to get through the mess.

You can even custom pop pressures too. In stead of the stock 305 or 310 bar I jumped to 320 bar for cleaner burning, slightly less fuel in the start but going to last over 100k miles.

Close... 190 amp for both elements, 95 amps for one element. That alternator fuse can now be used for other accessories. Personally that fuse is just to big for anything.

Too many people use sealant like silicone and over torque the gasket. This ends up distorting the metal of the pan, the gasket, and still have a leak you can't rid of. Rubber gaskets will typically do very well but the torque is extremely light like mere inch pounds 8 to 12 range roughly. I've got use to just using the ratchet head and not using the handle to tighten pan bolts. I've done enough transmissions lately. (Dodge and Chevy's)

Yeah the "MySQL fulltext" search has been known for absolutely poor results. This is why the Elasticsearch was added it responds more like Google does. Yes there was issues for the What New function but I'll dive in and check and see if that has been fixed in the last few software updates. Manufacture of the software use to display what bugs they were working on and now is all closed to the public so you never know if the issue is fixed or not till you just try again.

I'm moving forward. Even with crappy days like yesterday I just chalk it up to poor day. I ran to town to finish out a A/C job but being so cold outside I was not able to get the new compressor to fire up and have to force it to start to finish the charging with freon. I'm not sure if its going to fire up in the spring we will see. Then go home grab the Cummins drive down to the shop and rack it on the two post. Spin around and smack my head on the passenger side front lift arm. OUCH! That hurt big time enough to make me bleed. Thankfully, I call Eileen and got her to call me back on Facebook and look at my forehead. She gathered up supplies and came down to the shop and cleaned me up and doctored my wound. Still pulled the transmission in just about 3 hours, with about 30 minute slowdown with the blood running down my nose. Even with all that I managed to have all all the driveline pulled and start loosen up the transfer case before Eileen got there. As for the clutch I'll pull it down and check it all over closely. So as for this morning I'm up super early at 4:30am sad to say. Rough night of sleep for me. Too much on my mind. I've got the transmission loaded up and ready for Boise. During that trip I've got to stop by Weiser and pay the bill for Mom. I'm starting to adjust to my new life. Enjoying the thought of not having to drive long distances. Waiting to see a few months go back and re-math out the month budget for the house. Like I've shut down the heat pump completely. Been burning firewood more, don't have a ton of light on like Mom use to, doing laundry less often, everything should be less expensive than the last 4 years. Nice to get up and spend time on the forum and been working on the server a little bit to improve things and update softwares. Mornings are much more relaxed and less stressful being I can just stay home if the weather is bad. I'm no longer forced to drive in poor weather. Fuel in the trucks last much longer, and repairs should be less being the average is about 10 miles a day now at the best. Weird in between part of the season here, cold in the mornings and warming up during the day getting closer to 50's very soon. Snow is mostly gone here. I'm looking forward to traveling again, camping, being outdoors getting firewood. I'm working on gaining back my weekends and holidays so I can rest too now. Been playing catch up most of the week.

which might be fixed by now... year later practically...

Yup. Just like my HX35/40 Hybrid (60/60/12) is the same as a HE351 (60/60/9). Well not exactly. Comparing HX35W (54/60/12) to my hybrid. Small changes but better flow. Common upgrade is (62/68/12) turbo most upgrade too.

There was a result problem with the first go about it. It been missing for nearly a year now and I should revisit the software and fire it back up with updates. https://www.elastic.co/ That is the software we were using while back.

I was using a OBDLink LX dongle but I killed it with a a bad flash update. I will be buying two OBDLink MX series dongles for one in the shop and the other in my truck. https://www.obdlink.com/
