Abs nightmare
Every time you turn the key off and back on the ABS computer reboots and checks the status of the ABS sensors. As soon as I fixed the problem on my truck it reset the light in less than 100 feet.

Timing regarding cetane number
Why all this? Quadzilla Trans Temp Sensor screws right into the oil filter housing no fittings required. The hole is 1/8 NPT.

APPS reset procedure
Doesn't matter... I've tried Donaldson 3um, Fleetguard 3um, AirDog 3um filters all them pass dirt. The 7um in the stock always has some dirt in it.

Timing regarding cetane number
Installed mine in the test port at the oil filter on top of the oil cooler.

APPS reset procedure
Don't delete the factory filter. KEEP IT! I run both 3 micron filter on the AirDog 150 but a 7 micron filter in the stock filter. I found out that even the 3 micron filter on the AirDog is passing dirt on to the stock filter and the 7 micron is catching. Yes you have to drop the tank for installing the straw... Stock 7 micron, and the AirDog 150 3 micron cut open...

APPS reset procedure
You'll need to either install a draw straw... I would suggest a AirDog 150 or similar or mechanical pump.

Timing regarding cetane number
Engine load and engine oil temperature. As timing advances the engine oil temperature will rise. Then when you retard it will fall. I'm aiming for lower engine oil temperature and low engine loads. I'm now at 21 MPG last tank ran. Pretty soon I'll be back to advanced timing and summer fuel with cetane at 40 to 43. During the summer I aim for about -10*F lower engine oil temperature than coolant. In the winter is about -30*F lower than coolant. As you advance timing there is more flame front on the cylinder walls heating the coolant more hence the engine oil can be cooled as much on the 2nd gens.

Also be aware that all upgraded Mopar Tie Rod Ends had a recall back awhile ago. NAPA was included in this recall too. Stock stuff was no affected. Double check the part number to make sure it was superseded.

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

Fuse 16 / Adrenaline Wiring
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...

Timing regarding cetane number
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...

Quadzilla adrenaline transmission slip
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.

Ideehoo RE
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.

New Adventure! - Just Blogging
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.
