The P0236 and P0238 codes will produce a lack of tuner power. P0236 or P0238 codes will put the truck into limp mode. As for shutting off power here is the power distribution... No. There is nothing you can repair. The problem is the VP44 has to be placed on the Bosch 815 test stand and be bench tested for over 3 hours and the PSG has to be flashed with the new settings before being placed back in service.

Nope. Parts seize up or the PSG burns up and the pump does nothing. Here is the P0216 code. This timing piston seized.

NAPA EP27L Flasher and Hyper- Flash
I'm using those exact two bulbs. No issues. Same for the flasher too.

AC problems
I'm going to guess orifice tube. Nothing to build pressure so it just pumping the pressure to the lo side.

I don't notice any extra clicks.

3rd gen brake conversion on a dually
Economy brake pads. 200k miles. Exhaust brake. I'll go another 100k mile and check again. There is no way a 3rd Gen brake upgrade is going to outperform an Exhaust Brake.

Edge EZ most likely fired. Time to replace. The boost fooler is burned up. I would remove the Edge EZ and reset the error code and see if the P0236 and P0238 code returns. If not the Edge EZ is shot. Then the P1689 double check the Fuel pump relay in the PDC. This is the power supply for the VP44. If this doesn't fix it then you are looking at VP44 replacement. The relay shouldn't get warm or hot if operating properly.

VP or tps or quadzilla?
D'Oh... My bad.

VP or tps or quadzilla?
Disable the Quad by setting level zero and run again and see if it shudders. This will point out if its a tuning issue or not. Most of my tune are super high timing being the 320 bar injectors.

VP or tps or quadzilla?
TPS only controls fuel. That's it. Clutch slipping? Timing wrong too advanced? Look at the timing for the 2,500 band too. Look at the Max Load Timing Offset... Add more timing reduction.

Front Brakes
Exhaust brake are excellent brakes even for city driving and empty truck usage. I don't touch my service brakes but barely that at speeds below 20 MPH. They are OK but not as good as a true exhaust brake.

Anyone do any Metal Detecting?
I had one as a kid years ago Radio Shack one.

Blue-Top vs Redhead steering gear
265's and smaller tires are absolutely safe. With tires that are 265's and smaller, you can upgrade to a quick ratio steering box. My factory box had ZERO wear. It was the slat and rust that ruined the input seal of my steering box. Ryan @Blue-Top Steering said my box was still in excellent condition and was sold mere minutes later. Our boxes don't really wear out just need some rebuilding and seal replaced. Seal kits can be purchased from Blue Top Steering as well.

Boost, trans temp
Check the bottom of the exhaust manifold for cracks. Check for boost leaks. Most people upgrade turbos too soon. You could have ran a stock HX35 with +75 injectors.

P1698 No Bus, truck still runs
Call them first with the information you might have to send the PCM as well.
-
Radio interference
Handheld radio has no electrical connection to the truck. This is all RF (Radio Frequency) energy causing this. In the owners manual, there is a section about how caution should be used with strong RF signals in the vehicle. If you had an external antenna it might resolve this issue.

Capacitance? I'll have to listen to mine but typically rocking out to music or just not paying attention to it.

Edge Juice is only made for stock injectors. You'll have the same problem as @dripley you'll have to control the smoke with your right foot or go back to RV275 injectors. Or dump the Edge Juice and upgrade to Quadzilla and tune out the smoke. Like most of us are running +150 HP injectors on Quadzilla and have pretty good control over the smoke.

P1698 No Bus, truck still runs
Time to call ACS on either warranty claim... Might be the PCM failing.

Blue-Top vs Redhead steering gear
I never put $700 in a steering box. Just ditch the monster wheels and tires and you'll do like @dripley and myself have for years pretty much trouble free steering.

Error code
No bus is most likely a CCD network failure. PCM creates the CCD network. The cluster sets the bias voltage. Then the error code...

This is because the how tune on the Edge Comp is wrong. Timing is wrong and so is the fuel map. Like I'm now figuring out you need a fairly deep amount of retard to make the turbo spool and clean the smoke up quickly. This is missing in the Edge Comp being it was designed around smaller injectors and doesn't give enough timing afterward so part of the fuel is wasted in smoke. Then the lead in fuel map is too much and there is no way to spool fast enough to control the smoke.

NAPA EP27L Flasher and Hyper- Flash
Normal function here.

Pull the injectors and send them to DAP and they can pin measure the nozzle. Then pop test the injectors. Then you'll know exactly what you have for injectors. If there is over 100k miles on the injectors I would consider replacement.
