Guages?!
So do I. Bluetooth connection to my stereo / handfree Bluetooth connection to my Quadzilla Work great. The bluetooth connection now since I upgraded from LG G5 to Samsung S10 has greatly improved. Just a few hiccups but working better than my old LG G5 phone was. Handles handfree calls at the same time handling Quadzilla.

Same, I would run studs. 425 ARP studs now and upwards of 47 PSI for boost. Somewhere around 500 HP. Ahhh... Here is the link to all my mods. https://mopar1973man.com/garage/vehicle/101-2002-dodge-ram-2500/?show=mods

DO EXHAUST RESONATORS ROB HORSEPOWER??
Straight pipe has always been the best flowing exhaust. Even my muffled exhaust will have a loss to it. How much? I'm not sure... But remember this is during WOT operation on the dyno. Daily driver always going to be partial throttle unless your showing off.

2006 mega cab 5.9 Cummins with 37.3 volts at alternator?
Fusible link in the harness can be fried. 3rd gens have a fusible link buried in the loom. No alternator fuse like 2nd Gens but have a fusible link that burns in two inside the loom where you can't see. Why I say that is the ECM is telling full field to charge at max rate but the alternato can't reach the batteries because the fusible link is burnt in two.

New Headlights for Big Blue
Just remember you have all the oven baking the lens off, setting up and testing, putting the new leans on and hope they are water tight. If there is a screw up you'll have to bake them off again to fix. Kind of the reason I went my direction I didn't have the time for all this and needed them promptly to keep driving back and forth. So it adds the assemble and shipping (2nd day). Hence why my price was 750 for the set.

Guages?!
Down my a-pillar I've got boost 0-60 PSI, Fuel pressure 0-30 PSI and EGT's 0-1,600*F. Then Trans temp on the column. All gauges are ISSPro EV2 and programmed all the warning light for proper values. Boost gauge is set for 45 PSI. Fuel pressure is set for 13 PSI and the EGT's are set for 1,200*F. Then the Trans Temp is set for 220*F. No longer do you have to watch gauges I can tell by location of the warning light what to do without looking.

Needle valve is a wonderful thing!

The stock charge lead is too small for 180A alternator and the PDC fuse is too small. So the W-T mod and the PCM protection fuse is requirement to make it work correctly. You'll need a circuit breaker most likely 200A. You can do fuses but make sure to buy more than just one or two. Then make sure to care tools for said fuse so you can change it. I like the circuit breaker is reset-able works pretty good as long as it hidden from hi heat. I've got mine buried on the firewall side of the passenger side battery tray.

Recommendation on Trailer Tires
Like my RV came with load range D's which was barely enough capacity to hold the GVWR of the trailer at max pressure. I upgrade to load range E's and the drop the tire pressure back down to 60 PSI of a max of 80 PSI. Now you have flex room and no have to worry about blow out. To this day I still not had a tire blow ever either on a vehicle or trailer!

Please prayer for MoparMom
I went down and seen her one last time. She is doing OK for now Tuesday would of been her first skip dialysis which I know she can do. It's by Thursday things will change. She really isn't there anymore. Her dementia she is drifting from topic to topic. She understands she is dying but she then flip over like we are at home "Can you get me coffee?" There is nothing more I can do for her. The Good Lord just has to come claim her and take MoparMom to heaven. Yeah, it's difficult to type this message without crying, feeling sorrow and loss. But never the less I have to push on through. MoparMom has had a full life and she is at a point where nothing can be done. Her body can't do anymore. The doctors can't fix what wrong because her body is just too tired. At this point I want to remember the good things of Mom. The staff there is wonderful and doing an awesome job of keeping her comfortable and fed. I know the days after Thursday will get worse and her body will be getting toxic and she should go down at that point. So as of yesterday that was my last trip down US95 from New Meadows to Ontario. I don't want to see that road for some time. Even Eileen and I both agree if we need supplies we will go north to Lewiston, ID and Clarkston, WA. Matter of fact we had a close call on Fort Hall grade north of Council. So nimrod was passing a semi-truck over the double yellow lines and with quick reflexes I got the truck pull off the road in a small turn out without incident. I need to focus on going back to work and getting the bills paid for the month. I've also got two houses to repair and clean up. Like behind me on the floor is boxes and stuff every where. My desk is a mess as well. It's not like I don't have time now. Finally can do things that I want to do without being limited to Mom's schedule and doctors appointments. It been rough since Christmas to now. I will admit that my cannabis usage is way up. I'm so thankful at night for that herb. It settles my emotions down and allows me to think again without cry at the drop of a hat because I thought of memory or mom. Then it also helps with getting a good night sleep as well. Time heals all wounds. It only been since Sunday I found out Mom's time was limited. I know getting back to work will help a bunch. The other habit I need to break is getting up at 4:30am or 5:30am because those time I use to get up for dialysis days. I can now sleep in. I get my weekend back. Yeah, even this morning I was up at 5:30am out of habit. I know @IBMobileand @JAG1 were talking about a camping trip in the spring. I might just have to hook up for old times and catch up with both of you. There is a lot of traveling I want to do to see different people. Just never had time to do anything.

Bad mpg with quadzilla tune
There is a breaking point to cruise timing too. More focus you build to a set speed the better. Sometimes though building to high speed like 70 and 80 MPH just are not reachable with cruise timing. Say you build a tune around 80 MPH you can get 20 to 21 MPH but now the lower speed typically will be poor like my 65 MPH will be 18 MPG. So its best to build around like 60 or 65 MPH for cruise timing. This way the middle ground speeds tend to be better for MPG.

Please prayer for MoparMom
I thank you all for the prayers and messages. Mom is in good care there in St. Luke's hospital. The selfish side of me is over joyed that that 250 mile trip every TTS is over. No longer spending 820 a month in fuel. It's going to be heart breaking to go to all the places and friends and let them know Mom time is up and I will no longer be making these trip on her behalf. I'm not only going to be say bye to Mom but many friends I met along the way I have to inform that I'm not returning any longer on these trips. I thank the guys and gals like @IBMobile, @IBMOBILE-JEN and @JAG1 that least got to meet @MoparMom and get to know her. There is many more people that at least talked to her on the phone. She will be miss for sure, but her time is up and Good Lord is calling. No more struggling and juggling time. That is over. Like a funny thing I was still thinking, "Hey, stupid better hurry up and and get the 1996 Dodge fixed so I can quickly down the Cummins to fix the transmission." No longer I can just down the Cummins when I want to and get it fixed." Yeah I'll need the 1996 Dodge to haul the transmission, but no longer a time crunch to do it according to Mom's schedule. Yeah there will be a hole in my life for some time being majority of my time was focused on tending to MoparMom and keeping her going. Her problems are no more and finally get to rest her body and mind. She was spending a majority of her days sleeping towards the end. The biggest thing is rebuilding my life my way. There is so many things I wanna do and haven't been able to do in very long time like going camping, riding my bicycle, hiking in the woods, going out to cut firewood. Yeah its very difficult to let go and let God but I will in time. I've managed to save my Mother life 3 different times. This time I've been told by 4 doctors and and the Good Lord above that mom's time is over. I've gotten the highest praise over the phone from all the doctors for hanging in for over 4 years and tending to Mom's every need. It's not like I didn't try... I gave it my all like your supposed to do for family. I'm very thankful for the wonderful woman besides me. @Wet Vette has been doing a awesome job tending to my broken heart. She has done care for the elderly for nearly 30 years so she has been a huge help towards the end. Making sure Mom was bathe, dressed nice and looking presentable Eileen would even do her hair in the morning before dialysis.

Please prayer for MoparMom
Very sad news... We got to the Boise St. Luke's hospital to have the blood flow issues addressed in her legs but her body isn't able to hold up to another surgery. The only thing I can do is let her pass on. With her dementia issues she would never be able to finish rehab. With the blood flow issues she would end up losing both feet and be a painful 2 months more to live. The heart is already got the cardiac enzyme elevated showing she has had heart issues even during the time she had be in. I had to make the hard choice of letting Mom go. Yeah its breaking my heart to do but there is no way to fix her problems. Please say a prayer for @MoparMom that she passes on to the Good Lord and no longer in pain or suffering. I'll will heal in time myself. I've got a wonderful woman beside me and helping through these troubling times. I'm going to be slow around the site for a few days. The bonus is no longer doing these long trips to Ontario, OR anymore. MoparMom was getting really tired of the constant back and forth and the nasty weather this winter. No longer do she have to bury herself in blankets to stay warm. I've got to be back in Boise for @Wet Vette medical tomorrow and plan on stopping and seeing MoparMom once again.

Why I bought already assembled. Because now you have to align everything and test before putting the lens back on.

Brake Fluid - Dot 3 or Dot 4? Recommendations welcome.
Been using DOT 3 for years but requires changing and flushing the system every 30k miles. DOT 4 has better qualities being the boiling point is much higher and the capable of hold a bit more moisture before going south and losing boiling point temps. Moisture in any form is bad deal and will cause rubber failure and metal failure from oxidation. DOT 5 I do not suggest being its a totally different fluid and it is silicone based and requires different types of seals and rubber possibly. This can't be mix with either DOT 3 or DOT 4.

Sounds like the set of bulbs I just got for the 1996 Dodge Ram 1500. Came with a little allen wrench for the adjustment of the pattern.

Average mpg for basically stock truck
98.5 to 2002 requires the DRBIII tool to read the code. I've got a expensive Innova Scanner and it skips my truck. Typically the ABS light is a bad tone ring in the front axles or bad sensor in the front axles. If it was rear axle you would of mention speedometer not working.
