Cool I'm going to look tomorrow down at Ontario... Thanks @trreed LEDs ordered... Snail mail be awhile till they get here.

Same here at 355k miles and the head gasket leak.

Watch closely. Now you might have to chase the cloud and take a sniff of it. Oil smoke is going to be mostly white with bluish tint. It will for sure smell like burnt oil. Now bad injectors or low pop pressure can do the same thing but when you chase the cloud and sniff the cloud will smell of fuel and might burn your eyes. Both types of smoke look about the same but there is a for sure smell difference. Remember we are oil burners by design...

@Dieselfuture Yeah, I've got a very good understanding of batteries, inverters and lighting. Like today would be a poor example being its +13*F above zero. I've got the heat pump running, fire in the wood stove and space heater by the computers. Back to the truck and LED lights within. That really surprised me when the next morning I walk out to the garage and find the truck lit up. Going OH S__T and wondering if it would start up. I plan on changing out more blubs for LEDs but my next batch I want to change tail lights and front marker lights. I know I've got to wire in a resistor to add enough load to get the flasher to act right. I'm going to use a change out bulb in the front that shows as a white light with parking lights. Then turns amber with turn signals. The rear tail light just do a standard red led bulbs. Backup lights and the cargo lights I'm going to beef up and get the brightest LED's I can find for the clear white light.

Health and devices
After wearing this watch for a bit. I notice that the samples of heart rate it does take are good for the app. But if you manual check its starts out about right then starts to climb as you watch the display. The tracking of movement is excellent. At least now I know that I travel almost 3 miles just walking around my house through the day. Compared to the LG Health app which only works well if you pack the phone in your back pocket. The sleep tracking is rather cool and shows that I've made a full 8 hours of sleep and how many hours were deep sleep based on heart rates. Again the samples the app is getting shows about right. I compared this to my blood pressure monitor and another app "Heart Rate Monitor" This app is rather cool and work just like the sensor at the hospital. The camera flash on the phone is lit up and then you place your finger over the camera and its ability to measure your heart rate from the camera. Both my blood pressure monitor and Heart Rate monitor agree with each other. Then there are alarms. This is cool I've got the medication alarm set up to remind me to take my hawthorn berry and my vitamin. Wake up alarm works too. Then set another to remind me to go pick up MoparMom on time. Very attention-grabbing vibration from the watch. Then displays what the alarm is. Then there are the notifications. You can set it up for SMS text messages, call notifications, social media notifications. Works well. Now take all your data and share against Google Fit which has a better capture of data. Both the "VeryFitPro" app and the "Heart Rate Monitor" app share with Google fit so you can get a full picture of how you're doing. For $30 bucks it's not bad I would say its worth it for the price. Not perfect but handy device...

Steering box
Do NOT use a quick ratio box with larger than stock tires. I've got a quick ratio box on 245/75 R16 tires and its awesome. Tight steering and better response. My old box was a old 4 turn as well. I could of done a seal kit on it and been good. All the internal parts were excellent. Just the seals were shot. Even Ryan from @Blue-Top Steering said that there was absolutely nothing wrong with my box but the input cap that I damaged from all the rust. Most steering boxes just need a seal kit, adjustment, and cleaned up.

Bad valve seal ONLY shows up with the engine running and under load. Being with the piston at TDC both valves are closed and no pressure applied to either valve seals. Typically valve seals show up as oil smoke on startup either hot or cold.

new radio yaaay!
I just got to upgrade my micro SD card I can do 256 GB or 400 GB. Be aware some older phones have limits on how big of SD card they will address (both Apple and Android). After playing with both. The USB thumb drive is the winner. All the remote controls work correctly. Random and repeat work correctly. Track forward and track backwards is correct as well. MP3 track information is displayed. On Bluetooth mode, the forward track and reverse track hang up or pick up the phone. Bluetooth only displays phone controls. Dummy me, I forgot to plug in the antenna.

4,000 Watt Trace Inverter @ 24 Volts delivers 120 VAC at 33.3 Amps. I've got a step up transformer that produces 220 for the well pump. Only a small handful I don't power. Oven, Drier, Stove, Heat pump. Everything else is powered by the inverter.

Stuttering during free rev
Just for verifying. Unhook the Quadzilla completely. (Wire Tap, MAP sensor, and CANBus). Then try again. This just leaves you back to stock ECM. If its still doing it with the Quadzilla then I would look at the injectors and have them verified. Quadzilla becomes active above 1,000-1,200 RPM's. So then I would have to say that your timing set up is too advanced. I would drop your timing back down again. I will admit a small secret that injector pop pressure does affect the timing you need. Like my 320 bar injectors need way more retarded timing than my worn out 7 x 0.0085 did. This is due to the fact the atomize droplets are much finer and require much less timing to go BANG! When injectors wear out and pop pressure falls below 293 bar now you adding timing because the droplets are larger and take way more time to heat, vaporize, and go BANG! Don't get carried away with timing too much... I know everyone says more timing is better but it based on pop pressure, cetane levels, IAT Temperature, Coolant temperature, etc.

Ummm... Can you say $4,700 dollars for 8 batteries? Batteries are EXTREMELY expensive! My trace inverter was less, 21-years ago.

I would highly suggest to have the injectors either pop tested or replace depending on how many miles. This would deal with the miss. Blow by could be produced by bad valve guides and valve seals too as I learned on mine. Start with fixing the miss by dealing with the injectors.

What? Never routed like that. You might want to snap a picture.

Should be only two wires. Just put a jumper between the two.

Yes sir. 4kw @ 120 VAC.

W-T ground mod
Just remember you blow the fuse there is no resetting to get home. This is why I opted for resetable circuit breaker. If the breaker pops in short time then you know you've got a alternator issue.

Why... I've got 120 VAC in the house. Standard outlets and lamp sockets.

Kind of like myself wearing the hoodie that came with my 7 x 0.010 injectors.- Fuel heater necessary??
I would say yes. Subzero needs heaters.- LED lighting - Interior lighting
