Front Crank Seal Help .... and show and tell of what the dealer did
Emery cloth and work the excessive paint out of the hole. Work slow and even. Then might put a thin film of silicone in the hole as well if your concerned. The re-assemble the gear case again. Place the seal in a different position in the case to relocate for the crank wear.

Headlight issues
In any case the hi beam light is hooked up to +12V power. The other side relies on the grounding of the dimmer switch. I've got a feeling its in the modified wiring that is causing the problem.

High idle switch not functioning
Yeah once a mode is selected it remains for that key cycle. They other catch is you can start on 6 CYL and then select 3 CYL and it will flip. But no way back to 6 CYL unless you shut down for at least 10 second and re-select a new mode. If you even select 6 CYL it will follow last set mode if its 3 CYL. Normal Idle -> 6 CYL -> 3 CYL (No way back up the tree again - Shutdown required)

Loosing Prime / Crossover Tube O-rings
DAP sells the cross over o-rings. Typically supply new crossover o-rings with injectors.

Turbo issues (cont from another post)
HE351 (60/60/9) and the HX35/40 Hybrid (60/60/12) are the same but the exhaust housing is smaller. I would love to jump for the 62/68/12 that DAP has but I'm short the funds to buy into that one it will work for my Exhaust brake. He has one turbo that will fit my exhaust brake.

High idle switch not functioning
If you select a mode of operation the ECM will continue that operation till the engine is shut down. So its not possible to start on 3 CYL mode and then flip to 6 CYL it will not change operation. You must shut off the engine and wait roughly 10 seconds and now select the new mode of operation then start again.

Ford Park Lock Solenoid
I was just called into the shop to help the landlord fix his Ford F-150. The Column shift would not consistently release during brake application. No issues with the brake lights or the fuse. All working. It was the solenoid sticking ot failing. After fighting for 2 hours we both agreed to pull the shift lever out and looked at the tip and you can see the wear mark from the lock. Covered the dash and using a cutoff grinder. Cut about 1/4 inch off the very tip. Now install and presto normal functional shift lever without park interlock system. Then using the cutoff grinder and trimmed the cuff off the column plastic so installation is much easier. Total cost. ZERO Total time for project about 1 hour.

Loosing Prime / Crossover Tube O-rings
Injector o-rings will mix fuel with oil. Now crossover tube o-rings will leak fuel out on the manifold.

One of the members here fave it to me. He tried didn't like it too much. Needed rebuilding bearings were shot.

Truck won't go over 2000rpm ever since i changed fuel drain plug on fuel filter.
Limited pedal... Check the alternator for excessive AC noise. It can pollute the tach signal. This could limit power.

Turbo issues (cont from another post)
True but there is little options for keeping my exhaust brake. My exhaust brake is a requirement for where I drive with mountain grades. Getting about 45 to 47 PSI of boost. Quick to spool typically. Most times spools so fast the tires come loose. Little smoke to just a haze. Normal EGT's at 66 is roughly 550*F and 2,000 RPM. Then at 80 MPH at 2,500*F its barely 650*F. Really good cool EGT's. No issues here. Towing just drop to level 3 and I can't exceed 1,200*F with the RV or any trailer.

Installing Isspro FP gauge in stock 01

New NV 4500 with South Bend DD, full package with 1-3/8th input. ( 4th gear vibration on deceleration) trouble
Majority of time its the installer fault. Like I've installed over 4 clutches in the last month. Every single time I install a clutch I get the transmission to full mate before ever tightening the bolts. I use slide pins for lining up and this makes it perfect. Just done a Chevy/GMC 350 yesterday and it worked out just perfect. Put the pins in the bellhousing slid the transmission right up to the bellhousing in a single motion. If your pulling the transmission in with the bolts you now for sure messing up the installation. Most likely have a misaligned input shaft and forcing it to line up this is bad. Even when I did the clutch and transmission install on my truck on the floor. Same thing line it up and slide it all the way home. by hand BEFORE putting any bolts in the housing. NEVER PULL THE TRANSMISSION IN WITH THE BOLTS! SB Trick by Peter: If the clutch refuses to allow the transmission to seat. Install the slave cylinder. Have a second person to press the pedal down will the other now pushing. The clutch disc will come lose in the flywheel allowing the input shaft to align the disc freely.

2019 clean air act
Still got a rash of guys out there still dumb as a post and poor tuning rolling coal. I find at least 2 or 3 per trip that roll a huge coal over me just to show off. I just shake my head and think what an idiot. Most of them still listening to the stupid information that Edge Juice is the only tuner. Of course they have added huge injector to a tuner without timing adjustments. Edge Juice happens to be really good at rolling coal just like my old Edge Comp does too. The one that I can talk to I try to educate them and some do and other think I'm nuts that its impossible to have clean horsepower. If its not rolling coal its not working.

Bold is the injection pump. Replacement is required if the codes come back again.

Clutch
It seems like clutch month for me. Just did a Chevy 350 clutch now im doing it again. This one happens to have a NV4500 transmission. Ill admit way easier on a Dodge or Ram to change a clutch than a Chevy.

Junior's truck needs work... a lot of work :-(
Give @Blue-Top Steering a call excellent guy to work with. Maybe he'll respond to the tag. The only time you need all the braces is when lift kits are used and oversized tires. Myself I've gone almost 400k miles and never used anything but factory parts. No upgraded steering or anything. I did replace my steering box because of seal failure from rust. I've been using NAPA track bars with good results. Don't need to get sucked into brand names. I ran Rancho's 5100 for over 100k miles good shock. I've got KYB's now and another good shock. Bilsteins typically everyone runs to but not required. No Moog or Spicer joints no longer American made and tend to be of poor quality. My last batch was a set of I think AC Delco ball joints from RockAuto and have over 200k miles on them. OMG! That's a rip off. I would do that job in a half a day. Yeah you got to pull the VP44 out to do it right but its super easy to do. I did full write up on how to change that simple 20 dollar tappet seal. Gear case is a simple job too. Just get a crank seal and tube of grey silicone. Water pump is a 15 minute job. 2 bolts.

New Quadzilla installed--low power and 0 smoke?
Hence why I liked the 3.55 gears and just dropping to 245's which got me the 3.69 ratio final. 20mm narrower than stock but 1 inch shorter.

Tips for properly installing the airdog draw straw
The gap between the tip and the tank bottom should be the thickness of 1 or 2 quarters coins. Should be measured with a empty tank! Then the end should be cut straight. NO cuts at a slope, slant, or other wise. You may notch the tip but only 1/16" of a inch deep. No more! 300k miles.... Only time I see that is climbing steep grades at low fuel. Launching like 1/4 mile race track them I can pull the fuel to the rear of the tank. Normal driving I can pull down to EMPTY or the 1/8 tank mark no problem.

Can't sleep bad ideas in my head
1998.5 to 2002 was a red headed step child truck. What I've found out back in 1996 we still had the p-pump but federal regulations forced the OBDII requirement on all vehicles. This meant that Dodge had to upgrade to something. I found that Dodge was already playing with CR injection was hoping to get that finished up so to make the deadline they released the VP44 engine to fill the gap till CR injection could be finished. This means that Dodge chopped right in the ECM and made a mess out of the electrical to stack in the ECM quickly. This was done away with in the CR realm. So we have the redheaded step children of trucks.

Quadzilla EGT accurate??
Update EGT accuracy... Lost my ISSPro EV2 probe not long ago. Replaced it with a Quadzilla probe which it worked out just fine on the ISSPro gauge but there is less offset now very close to being right on the money between the two gauges. Might be worth just say that my offset was a probe that was failing and the offset was created as the probe wore out and then failed. ISSPro EV2 Boost vs. Quadzilla MAP sensor still skewed. I've tried my old factory 2002 MAP sensor and the 2001 MAP sensor as well. No change still skewed above 30 PSI.
