Might want to look at my article about protecting the PCM from shorts. Then you might look into the W-T ground mod.

(Wednesday, Jan. 02 2019) Yeah, it has been an adventure for me. Now I've got to mention that I've never been to a hospital, I've never been to the ER before either. Since Christmas its been a very stressful days. Now once I got the hospital I was diagnosed also with high blood pressure as well. Which delayed my surgery a slightly as they set me up a bit differently. Rolled me in and slid me on the table gave a bit of oxygen... (Blackness - Nighty night) I woke up to vomiting from the drugs. Ugh. That sucked somewhat. I was rolled into my room and I was greeted by @BrianAtSmarty (and his wife) and @MoparMom . That first night was rough. Wasn't the pain that was bad was the constant in and out of the nurse coming checking my vitals and change my saline bag for flushing my bladder. I requested something to sleep. After that was put in my IV was gone... (Blackness - Nighty Night) (Thursday, Jan. 03, 2019) Now woke up 4 hours later felt much better. Now soreness kicking in a bit. Got some breakfast and continue to heal. Later in the afternoon, they requested I try walking the halls. I managed to walk a full lap no big issues other than standing up my land legs where wobbly. The staff got me ready to go home that night. All my drugs brought to my room and explained to me. So forth... I called @BrianAtSmarty and told him to come get me. By about 4pm MoparMom and BrianatSmarty showed up to get me. At that point, I must of been hurting more than I knew but I wanted to go home. BrianatSmarty helping me with shoes and socks I was sore started sweating. Got to the wheelchair and managed to get downstairs to the lobby. Started feeling really bad, hot, sweating, etc. I told my transportation guy to take me back up stairs have me checked out. I got wheeled in my room... (Blackness - Fainted) Next thing I remember is John (my Nurse) and Greg (Transportation) was calling my name and waking my up. John called Rapid Response Team. My room was flooded with people. Everyone testing some part of my body. Clothes were being peeled from my body and cooling my body temperature down. After about 2 hours of testing and checking me over... It was that I was able to tolerate more pain than I should of and caused my "vagus nerve" to cause a reboot of my body (fainting). We all agreed for me to stay in for another night. I got dinner and fired up TV and went to sleep. (Friday, Jan. 04, 2019) Woke up to Jem my night nurse reminding it was time for my morning walk. Swung out of bed and got to my feet slowly. I only made a half lap. I was starting to sweat and feel sick. Made back to the room. They had the doctor check me over again. He said my vitals are good and I need to get moving. I recollected myself again and start forcing myself to sit up. OMG! that was really sore to do. Later on, I started to see another patient doing laps about 3 in a burst. I got my daytime nurse to come and try again. She suggested using a walker. Yeah, not my idea but why not. Made one lap. Started to feel better. Made the second lap and got sore. I forced myself to sit up for breakfast. Using my ab muscles to pull myself forward to eat. Not fun but helped a bunch. Plowed through a chef chicken salad. Saw my guy again making laps. I rang for the nurse again and requested to make some laps as well. I finally caught up to him just walking on my own (not using the walker) and told him to thank you he was a driving force to make me get rolling again. I even had the Chaplin come to my room and talk to me and say a few prayers for my recovery and healing. Later on. The doctor came back and checked on me he was happy and said I was ready to go home. John my day nurse kept telling me I was faking it. I got discharged and headed for BrianatSmarty place. I've got to mention that St. Luke's Hospital staff are excellent people. They take care of you properly and keep you safe and healing. Everyone I came in contact with has been excellent and great people to talk to. Thank you from Mopar1973Man to St. Luke's Hospital Staff in Meridian, Idaho.

I'm back home. Got a good nights rest. There is quite a story to tell.

Actually it is cancer. Its not muscle invasive cancer. This means the doctor can shave it off and it will not require my bladder and prostate to be removed.

After having my bladder surgery I can tell you doctors have the drugs to keep you from feeling any thing. As for me I'm feeling ok this morning.

I'm out of the hospital. I made it back to @BrianAtSmarty place for the night. Still sore but doing slowly. I've got an appointment to go in and have the catheter removed on the 11th. Then they will do some x-rays and see how the kidney is doing.

Good luck has come my way. My pathology came back it is NOT muscle invasive cancer. Basically doctor has to go back in a few weeks verify it all gone. Still gotta deal with my right kidney yet. Not sure if it draining properly.

Mark the driveshaft and a tire. The driveshaft will turn either 3.5 turns or roughly 4 turns to one of the tire.

What gear ratio?

Correct vehicle.

If there is an invalid value in the tune it will lock up the app and not function correctly. This why uninstall and reinstall should bring you back to function. The do not use any tune files. Make sure to hand build.

Barrow a set of 245/70 R17 for the rear axle test drive that and see if you like it.

Yeah... Really sore yet. But I've got be smart. I've got to be able to sit up for longer periods. Like right now laying in bed proped up I'm fine. Sit up like chair that is painful yet.

Uninstall the app and reinstall this will clear out the bad value. It could be a empty slot creating the issue. Then rebuild your tune. As for level change the engine has to be warm up past you set value to unlock the other power modes. As for contact @Quadzilla Power ill tag him to the forum.

What size tires are you running? Then what gear ratio? 3.55 is optimal for 31 inch and SMALLER tires. 4.10 is optimal for 32 to 37 tires. Personally 245/75 R16 is great for daily driver on 3.55 gears. 66 MPH is exactly 2k RPM. 80 MPH is 2,400 RPM.

Got to 235/85 R16. Same height on the 235s but narrower. If you off-road a lot run the 265 for flotation. 235s are great for the ice and snow. 245s are great on 3.55 gears too.

Well I gave everyone a scare. I've never experienced pain like I did and past out. Like this morning I'm trying walking again but struggling. Seriously doubt I can sit in my truck for 2.5 hours. I'm not spooked about it yet.

Lol... Nurse have been great. I've been well taken care of. In getting out this hospital really soon. Like in 30 to 45 minutes. I'm going to camp at @BrianAtSmarty place for today let the last of the meds wash out so I can drive home. I've got some high power stuff.

@Me78569 was another fell into the trap of buy OEM parts like Spicer ball joint and they didn't hold up.

Yeah the seat belt is buried in the corner of the seat frame. The cover has to come off and padding removed. Sad I had a set of seat frames with the belts. Couple years back found a dumpster.

Told you. Now you understand why I went to 245s tires. Changed the final ratio to optimize power.

Here in the odd duck once again buying mostly NAPA parts. Typically avoid Cummins parts excessive price that does not always mean quality. There has been a few things I bought from Cummins because it was cheaper then the Diesel Vendors. Remember Cummins doesn't manufacture a lot of parts. They are reboxed with Cummins logo. I think there is only 3 companies the manufactures thermostats and Cummins is not one of them.

If high idle is running either Cummins or Quadzilla will cause the grid heaters to run longer. As for the error code typically a new APPS sensor will fix that issue. I would suggest doing alternator AC noise test and replace the alternator if it marginal or failure. Then do the W-T ground mod.

In very thankful to have all these wonderful friends on the internet. It nice to see all you responding and posting. I'm hanging in there. Got breakfast, nice to get something to eat and drink.

Normal. Sounds good. Typically these trucks start fairly easy.
