Very light amber color. Doubtful. She typically in the back country of Idaho.

APPS/Alternator Issues
Exhaust brake is trigger not by voltage but the IVS of the APPS.

98.5 24 valve airdog which filter do I use 10 micron or 2 micron
Every 60k to 70k miles. 15k miles the filter is still clean. 30k miles the filter isn't even discolored yet. 45k miles the filter showing a small sign of color. 60k the filter is discolored. Still good fuel pressure.

2 micron if possible. typically the Donaldson's Filters I pick up are typically 3 microns.

Slow spooling turbo
That could possibly be fixed. Pull the haust housing off. Warm up the exhaust housing in an oven or with a propane torch then dump it in a small bucket of diesel fuel. Let the heat and it soaking hopefully free the shaft and wastegate up. Might take several passes and some light tapping with a plastic or rubber hammer to shock the wastegate rust.

@Threadzy Clean install. That spot is taken on my truck with the exhaust brake control valve.

Had to share on of the locals wanted the diff and transmission fluid changed. I did find another transmission fluid for NV4500. It is a GL-4 75w-90 lube. Limited slip rear end with 75w-140.

Might also read my finding on oil temp.

I opted away from fuses. If you have something go wrong and it blows you got to carry a few extras. At least a resettable circuit breaker you can at least reset many times over. I've seen the old 140A stock fuse blow and some just rotted away or cracked. Fun is when you look and the fuse looks fine but actually its cracked.

When I'm at home at the PC everything is fast... Here I'll dive in a help... Fuse 12 Now you can see everything that is runs.

Low Boost
There is a jump swittch inside the Quadzilla for the MAP sensor. I'm not sure which way is which but one way is early MAP sensor and the hang the jump of one pin is the other series of MAP sensor.

Like myself and @mr.obvious both have the circuit breaker and mounted behind the passenger batter neither is having an issue. Same manufacture as well I've already seen 106°F summer day in traffic and no issues as of yet.

E-brake/ parking brake return spring???
Rear parking brakes are what pull the pedal back up. This means you need to adjust out the slack.

Need a another test shop. New test stands report max voltage, max amperage, max AC ripple, and even a sine wave of the ripple. Most NAPA stores have a quality test stand.

Done. Split out.

Stock EGT temps
Now here comes the fun of pulling the gear then re-index the pump and test drive for a week and then do it all over again till you hit the hot spot. I've been at it on my truck for over 6 months building this tune. At least VP44 is easier to set timing over the p-pump. Still in the end game the timing is correct the fuel usage will be down and the oil temp should be -10°F below coolant temp.

When the smarty touch display dies, how do you get another one?
Smarty screen have a bad USB port in the Smarty side. Known to have the solder joint breaking. You'll need to box it up and send it to Smarty for repair. This is a known issues.

First off that what the site is all about is coming together and fixing the problems we find. We all share information and figure out what the issue is and then come to a solution that is fair permanent. Lets start basic with error codes and the fuel pressure while your driving the truck down the pavement. (idle, cruise and WOT). Test for power at the lift pump plug after bumping the starter.

Diff switch from 3.55 to 4.10
Roughly 4,400 pound in the front, and 2860 on the rear axle. This is empty truck no cargo. Your truck might be a bit more.
-
Diff switch from 3.55 to 4.10
That was max capacity. Front axle was inflated to 65 PSI The Rear was like 45 PSI. Ran good.

Dead throttle pedal, weird trans stuff..
AC noise you need the W-T ground wire mod. Then for the dead pedal it could be APPS sensor failing check for a P0121, P0122 or P0123 code.

Diff switch from 3.55 to 4.10
I've had a set of tires that made by Black Lion (China) and were a 235/85 R16 tires that were G Load Range (3,750 pounds @110 PSI). There is a wide range of China tires that have super high rating but most would never give up the US name brands for a China made tire.

Brakes, power steering
I used NAPA economy pads all the way around and cleared 180k on the first batch of brak pads, then over 200k on the second batch of brake pads. Rotors lasted over 380k miles before I replaced them. The economy pads have way less metallics in the pad and dont eat up the rotors.

Stock EGT temps
On our truck this is not true. Late or retarded timing puts more flame out the exhaust port and spools the turbo. Too advanced will heat soak the coolant jacket around the cylinders. This can bee seen by using the trans temp sender in the oil test port on the oil filter. Typically the oil temp should be about -10°F below coolant. Over advance the timing the oil temp can rise to +10°F above the coolant temperature. Now I did a test run and over retarded the timing and pull the oil temperature down to -22°F below coolant. The power was way less and MPG's dropped out. Now my latest update on my Econo Tune has this in the tune and cross the 21 MPG mark with 150 HP injectors. I'm one of the rare few. More here... Then the tune...

The Hankook ATm 245/75 R16 are S speed rating (112 MPH).
