Does it pay to rebuild steering box?
Because a rebuilder cannot set everything up in a loaded condition. In other words making the final adjustment taking the slack out. Even had the same thing happen with Blue Top Steering. I have to tighten the sector adjustment a 1/4 turn more. Hard to test on a bench test and then install to a truck and find there is some slack. They don't have a truck to bench test on. Stock steering box only has two adjustment which are listed right in the FSM book. Sector adjustment and bearing pre-load. Those are the only 2 adjustments. Typically the sector adjustment is left too loose to prevent over the center bind up.

Does it pay to rebuild steering box?
I rebuilt numerous Ford ,Dodge and Chevy steering box they are easy as pie. The only thing that is time consuming is getting the 22 ball bearing back into the worm gear. That is it...

Mechanical lift pump
Fuel filters are like oil filters anything poured into the center hole is unfiltered. This why I will not fill oil filter or a fuel filter before installing. Even though many shops still fill the filters before installing. It only takes a little bit of debris and it will do its harm to the engine or the injection pump. The only way you can fill a filter without the worry is fill through the side ring holes which is the filter inlet or don't fill it at all and use the pump to prime or priming lever. Even if you ask @AH64ID he will tell you the same thing. I have been getting 60k miles from my fuel filters now.

You might want to talk to @Blue-Top Steering He's got rebuild kits that allow you to do it yourself. Really easy.

Mystery pedal thing
Dang... I love all these weird trip switches. The Jacobs Brake uses the ECM for the trigger there is an empty pin on the plug that you insert into and it toggles the exhaust brake on and off.

Mechanical lift pump
I never fill the filter with canned diesel it dirty fuel and unfiltered. That is the first thing to the injection pump. I always work the primer lever or the prime cycle on the key to fill the filter back up.

Because of the crow hoping it will do on corners and the stress it puts on the front driveline.

Cancer and Vitamin C
@dripley just needs to change what he's smokin'. That would protect him from the cancer that tobacco will give him and help heal his lungs from the tars in tobacco smoke.

Wishin I knew more about electrical
Neat... I might have to upgrade to that. One for IGN powered items. One for BATT powered items. Better yet... ATM fuse panel instead of the larger ATC fuse panel... https://www.amazon.com/Position-Mini-Fuse-Panel-pack/dp/B00O7SEZDO

Private Property A Concept Lost On Most Americans
Out here in Idaho lots of ground has been changed into Wilderness Areas where motorized vehicles are not allowed. Then preventing majority of people from traveling out there unless you have an outfitter guide or a horse. Like all the mountain behind me is a wilderness area. All the roads a gated off and only the rich people that can afford the $25,000 outfitter fees can access this ground now. Not fair. With USFS and Idaho Dept of Lands closing more roads and access to the forest this in now creating your posted problem because there are less areas people can go to enjoy.

Brakes, power steering
As @Blue-Top Steering told me about my 350k mile steering box. The Walmart SuperTech fluid did an awesome job and there was ZERO wear in my box just the seals failed from rust and dirt. Just change the fluid every 30k miles. No issues with cold all the way to -40*F. Still running my factory OE pump yet.

W-T mod is very very simple. Not hard at all. I've done 3 vehicles now and can complete the project in mere 1.0 to 1.5 hours. As long as all the materials are present.

This is where you need to enhance the air flow over the transmission cooler with a electric fan. I always though the idea of ISSPro EV2 transmission temperature gauge and ISSPro programmable relay and turn on a cooling fan at about 180*F.

2001 24v revs like a run away
You can try a APPS reset... I seriously doubt the APPS is the cause being the 5 volt signal is not being generated this makes ALL the sensors including the APPS wrong. First you need to fix the 5V problem before changing APPS sensors other than that you buying a APPS for nothing and still have the problem.

Cancer and Vitamin C
Vitamin C has a broad spectrum antioxidant function with the ability to protect cell structures and DNA from free radical damage. Vitamin C is remarkably safe even in enormously high doses. Compared to commonly used prescription drugs, side effects are virtually nonexistent.

Cancer and Chemo
For those that are considering doing chemo for cancer treatments just consider what is in the chemo. http://chemocare.com/chemotherapy/what-is-chemotherapy/types-of-chemotherapy.aspx Thankfully I've never had to do chemo but I figured it was worth bringing up here and let everyone know what is in chemo and how its a poison.

Grid heater switch
Basically the new version is a Ford Starter Solenoid. Pass the high current power lead of the grid heater through the high current studs the wire a toggle switch for the smaller control studs. Bingo. ECM still sees the grid heater solenoids no codes. You can turn off the grid heaters at any time.

Nothing is every attach to my batteries. All hooked up in the PDC box where it should be. My batteries are clean. Too bad your in Texas I would be more than happy to fix that mess and make it go away.

I would be concerned with the P1488. Double check all your electrical connections for the batteries and ground make sure they are good. Then clear the errors and try again. If it returns then you might end up sending the ECM to Auto Computer Specialist.

Mechanical lift pump
4G AirDog is a good pump. Just don't want anything to do with the 3G pumps those are the ones with serious issues. My old 2G pump ran for a very long time before failure. I've replaced plenty. Diaphragm fails and the fuel starts pumping fuel into the crankcase. Another common is person changes a fuel filter or runs out of fuel and the primer lever is broken change the fuel pump to get it started. Not to mention the VE didn't require much pressure (about 6 PSI) or volume. (no high volume return).

Mechanical lift pump
I've seen where conditions were right and reduced power and kind not are strong. Hard telling if its a suction air leak or was it the steel lines next to the hot exhaust. Never has a hard start. Only occurred when it was hot out and pushing the fire truck hard up hill to the fire. Fine on cooler day and not pushing hard.
