Tire recommendations
Getting 60k for sure out of set of tires. Running Hankook ATm 245/75 R16 tires. So far had 3 sets of them and love the traction in the snow. Good quiet highway tire.

Recommendation on Trailer Tires
You can use normal truck tires too just as long as the load range or capacity is better than the GVWR of the trailer. Heck if I'm capable of getting Load G's (3,750# @ 110 PSI) in 235/85 R16 years ago I'm sure its out there just that you'll need to find a tire shop with a guys that know how to custom order tires.

Catch can
Vacuum leaks or blow by issues with the rings (rings worn out) are the only two causes.

Muffler options.
Low in the RPM at 80 MPH. I can see why drone is a issue. Even stock is not that low.

Can't boost above 22psi with the wastegate plugged
Quadzilla you can do a bunch with. Turn the level all the way up. Then do a few test runs. @Rather Be Wheeling you should take a peek at the tuning guides. I've got one and Nick has one. You are safe to running 40 PSI without studs. I've done that for years. With my old Edge Comp I could tap the 37 to 39 PSI. (10 years! running 5x5) Above 40 PSI I start to get worried between the stock turbo is running out side it design map and the head bolt will now start to see stress above 40 or 45 PSI possibly.

no headlights after cummins swap
Yes sir... The wiring on the headlights are WAY different... Black is showing ground leads. Red is showing positive leads. 2001 is... Constantly hot with +12V switch the ground to turn on. +12V -> Fuse -> Bulb <- dimmer switch <- Headlight switch <- ground in driver side kick panel. 1998.5 is... Is switched +12V +12V -> Fuse -> headlight switch -> dimmer switch -> bulb <-grounds to radiator support.

Possible Big Chicken Travels out West.... When?
No kidding...
-
Recommendation on Trailer Tires
I never changed size... Only load range type. went from a D to E. This upped the capacity of the tires more allowing me NOT to inflate to MAX Pressure.

Muffler options.
My 4 inch diamond eye with muffler is pretty quiet. Little to no drone

The only way to clean injectors...

struggling to build boost
RV275 is a stock ISB RV series injector that could give +30 or +40 HP over stock. But none the less still stock injector by Cummins standards. When you step up to +50 HP you now playing with custom injectors. Nozzle and pop pressure.

The headlights cases I bought on Amazon but I tried the crappy HID/Halogen bulbs. Those were junk. SilverStar Halogens are junk (860 lumens). As you can see the new bulbs are 4,000 lumens. These are only 9 dollars more than the past set of SilverStar halogens I paid for.

Pellet stove recommendations
I've always sided with just normal wood stove. Pellet stoves tend to eat a lot of power with the blower running all the time. Then all the power for the auger and pellet feed. Then if the power does go out then the pellet stove does too. I'm use to 24 hour to 48 hour outage. Like this morning its...

Headlight upgrade problems.
I got my LED bulbs from SuperBrightLEDS.com. The bulb comes with adjustable collar to more the bulb in different positions so to get the light correct for the application of reflector housing. Remove the small Allen screw and twist the bulb to align.
