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?

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.

DO EXHAUST RESONATORS ROB HORSEPOWER??
4" does not drone at all at 80 MPH. (not towing) but towing it can drone quite loud.

Headlight upgrade problems.
Upgraded housing like @dripley but I do have lock rings.

No. Plug N Play... Turn signal no load resistors either change the flasher can. Plug N Play again.

Headlight upgrade problems.
https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-and-subminiature-bulbs/9004-led-fanless-headlight-conversion-kit-with-internal-drivers-4000-lumensset/3910/8027/ Neither were mine. 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.

struggling to build boost
Stock injectors are near end of life for sure. Mine lasted to 150k but the pop pressure was 260 bar where the minimum is 293 bar. Timing is off. When tuned correctly there is no smoke. Since Edge products do not allow for timing adjustments and your injectors are worn out most likely this is why you not building good power. Smoke is a sign fuel is too much and timing is off most likely retarded. I would suggest having your injectors pop tested and/or replaced. Another way to check is hook up a live data tool. Watch the engine load if it near zero or at zero but never cannot idle down to 800 RPM then the injectors are shot. I ran a Edge Comp for over 10 years they are a good tuner for only stock and RV275 injectors once I stepped up to +50 HP the timing was off and black smoke all the time, very difficult to control the smoke. Once I swapped over to Quadzilla Adrenaline the problems all stopped. Very little to zero smoke and currently running 7 x 0.010 @ 320 bar injectors from DAP (+150 HP). I've been holding 19 to 21 MPG for 4 years of driving and 250k miles. My tunes are all posted on the download area and could help to build a better tune too. Currently I produce enough power that 3rd gear and up all I got to do is squeeze down on the throttle and the tires will spin for sure. Producing about 47 PSI of boost and about 500 HP to the rear tires. Still with all this power 19 to 21 MPG daily driver.

APPS reset procedure
NAPA. They sell denso alternator all the time. Basically the grounds go to the gear case, then the recycled connector on the passenger side is used as a jumper from the driver side battery to the gear case bolt. Alternator charge lead is completely re-used. Jumps to the rear of the battery try and hooks to the 150A circuit breaker then the remaining lead wrap back around to the positive post and hooked up. Basically you don't need to by any wire. Just the 150A circuit breaker and the ring terminals. All wire can be re-used.

Awesome video
Well thank you very much! It does not call immigration because I am a citizen of the United States. :USflag: Have a nice day!

New A/C & left pumb switch
A/C should never cycle at an idle this means your low on freon. Check your A/C pressure on both hi and lo sides. Mine is solid on all the time and never cycles typically.
