05 Quadzilla custom tuning
I would suggest looking towards Smarty Touch for CR tuning.

Started another inframe today
I think that most people abuse and overuse silicone sealants. Our engines were put together without sealant for most of it. The only thing that is sealed with silicone is the gear case.

Extended crank to start
I would have them tested and then talk to @dieselautopower about having them popped. It could be a poor spray pattern. I know its Russian but it shows a clear bad injectors... Now notice the good fine mist on this one...

Extended crank to start
Lag won't change much. Lag is typically a timing issue a lack of retard. When you change throttle from light to heavy quickly you need a good amount of retard to make the flame and expanding fuel on the exhaust stroke to spool the turbo. Once the turbo lights or boost is starting to rise then you need to flip back to advanced timing to keep the fuel burning. If only had some timing control. Smaller injectors aren't really going to fix this problem. Even your wore out stockers will have the same problem because the pop pressure is too low. The problem is the droplets or mist is too big and taking too much time to convert the fuel to vapor and go bang. This is pop pressure problem. I've got this problem right now my pop pressure is too low and the lag time and fuel atomization is poor.

Soldering Cables
Same here the old acid core I got hasn't been any problem so far in what I've used it for. You have to remember that the lead/tin mixture seals the copper. So the acid part is only there for a short time and the lead/tin seals the copper. I only use it for the big cable stuff. I've got small diameter flux core solder but it for smaller soldering jobs.

Did you have the injectors pop tested yet?

Flickering fog lights
Check fuse G in the PDC. Then try trading the Fog Lamp relay. The fog lamp and headlight share the same ground in the cab.

Overhead console trip meter doesn't work
The only thing I can say is to verify the CCD network is plugged into the overhead module. Without the CCD network the overhead computer can get any data from ABS, PCM or the ECM. ABS controls the speed and distance. The PCM sends the fuel level signal and the ECM sends the fuel consumption rate. The sad part is the MPG part is typically way off the mark because it only calibrated for stock injectors and no tuner.

Fuel mileage sucks! Please help!
Bingo. Again this is a problem both Edge juice and Quadzilla both have in using the boost information from the MAP sensor. Being there is 3 different MAP sensors used and at least two different versions of ECM software used for boost information it does make things a bit of a mess. The only thing the Quadzilla does is verify the sensor is working. As for accuracy I wouldn't suggest use the Quadzilla for boost readings.

Front axle centering.
Very True. If the wrong bar was installed that is too short then the axle will pull to the driver side. The only other cause is someone installed a leveling kit. This will push the axle downwards away from the frame at the same time pull on the trackbar to the driver side. I'm sad to admit I watch my boss install a lift kit on a Ford and we pulled the track bar loose to get the spring low enough to install the spacers. When we tried to install the track bar again it was too short and the axle had to be pulled to the driver side with a come-a-long to get the axle bolt in. I told my boss that was right... But still sent the truck home.

Mine is close to right on down low but skews as boost pressure go up. This why I tend to use my a-pillar gauges more so than Quadzilla display. Quadzilla isn't the only one with this issue. Edge Juice does too.

Front axle centering.
Can you hold your old bar up next to the new one and verify the bar length?
-
Front axle centering.
Track bar is either too long or too short causing the axle placement to be wrong.

VP-44 Failure?
By the time you pay the $4k for the pump conversion and install it. I'll have enough money to purchase a MILLION miles worth of VP44's and meet you at the other side. But even p-pumps don't last forever either and do wear out as well. Could be worse just by 2003 or newer truck and have to replace $4k worth of injectors every 100k to 150k miles. VP44 pales by far to the cost of CR injectors.

Front axle centering.
Either that you got the wrong track bar. The track bar is the only thing that holds the left to right position of the axle.
-
Front axle centering.
Are you using a levelling kit? Just remove the levelling kit and the axle will be centered once again. Other than that you need an adjustable track bar to make up the change in geometry.

This is a reason why I don't look at boost pressure on Quadzilla and have ISSPro gauges that are accurate. The MAP sensor is known to be inaccurate for boost reading. Use a mechanical gauge to verify.

Best Way To Change Motor Mounts?
Bottle jack and one side at time would be me. Unbolt the mount from the engine and pull them up.

Figure out your final gearing to the ground. More you get the final to the ground between 3.55 to 3.73 is optimal. https://tiresize.com/gear-ratio-calculator/ Rotational mass does play a role in this too. http://hpwizard.com/rotational-inertia.html Optimal IAT is 100 to 140*F...

P1693 no other code
Very bad idea. For sure have AC noise problem. The noise filter needs to be removed and chucked in the trash and fix the actual problem. Replace the alternator and do the W-T ground mod.

Fuel mileage sucks! Please help!
Typically 55 MPH is 1-2 PSI of boost and roughly 16% engine load. Now at 65 MPH 2-3 PSI of boost and roughly 19 to 20% engine load. EGT's are still under 600*F for both speeds. I still think those 285 tires and final gearing don't help. Most likely too low of a final gear ratio to the ground.

Quadzilla display project
Hmmm... Nice stereo. Might have to look into that Joying 8 inch looks like it fits good.
-

Sound like there is a lot of drag. Typical idle EGT's is like 250°F for me.

Cleaning sensors will do nothing. IAT has no purpose with Quadzilla tuner. IAT has no effect with the Quadzilla active. Need to slow down and get the EGTs under 600F. Also proper timing will help.
