Power Steering Pump bad after flush?
If the fluid isn't foaming then it another problem. Could be a damaged power valve in th3 steering box. It could be a pump issue where the regulator is sticking open dumping pressure needlessly.

Trans problems
Transmission wise usually weak because of poor final ratio that puts huge stress on bands and clutches. VP44 I've never been plagued by VP44 issues as long as you do not pump out of the sender basket where all the hot fuel returns too. Then the W-T ground wire mod to deal with AC noise issues. Add a 128:1 ratio of 2 cycle oil to boost lubricity of the fuel which the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel created the problem back in 2006. Then run quality 3um filter if you can to keep dirt out of the pump.

Check for fluid foaming. Typically air in the fluid makes the noise and pulsation in like the brake and/or steering.

Power Steering Pump bad after flush?
If you do the power steering flush correctly it right it should not have any way to plug up or damage the power steering pump. My current method which works well and has zero issues is jacking up the front axle just to get the front tires barely off the ground. Now remove the steering box return and cap the nipple on the pump. Now the steering box return hose needs to be directed to a waste container. Now rock the steering from left to right with the ENGINE OFF. This will allow you to pump the reservoir out and as you do just keep adding fluid to prevent air being sucked into the system. Continue till the return line has clean fluid running out. There is no way to introduce debris to the pump if the return is heading to a waste container. Now rehook up the return line to top off the system with fluid. Matter of fact I did this same process on a Chevy Suburban in Nampa ID and cleared out the red-colored fluid I'm not sure if it was ATF or some other product like Lucas additive which is red. I flushed the system the same way and took like 30 minutes from start to finish. It performed way better and only now had to chase a bad hose that was leaking at the crimp of the hose.

Trans problems
Totally agree. Transmission filters are not filtering as tight as a engine oil filter. Then most people assume that normal driving is fine but little do they know the trans temp light does come on till 295°F and by then the transmission took damage.

Just keep in mind you want 14 PSI as a minimum fuel pressure at WOT. This will help with cooling and lubing the VP44. The bad side is never pull fuel from the sender basket being that is the hottest fuel return from the engine and can cause VP44 damage to the PSG module. Being my fuel system I use an old school draw straw in the tank my fuel temperature has are considerably lower than most others on the forum here.

Air in Fuel Line problems
Yeah my pump is old and dirty but I might have a slow weep somewhere but the pressures are fairly rock solid. Yes the old school push lock fittings and JIC fittings are supre easy and don't use any clamps or seals.

Surging, bucking, intermittent code 0236
Boost fooler and/or boost circuit is having issues. Double check by ohm testing the wires. Check for your 5V signal and signal ground.

MAP Sensor at the least. The rest can remain.

Trans problems
This is a problem in the 4th Gens. I've seen that the PRND selector valve will get wear from the deflection of pressure on the valve body and there is an updated RevMax valve body for the 4th Gens. As for the 47RE I would say you are on the right track. The information I learned from Dynamic from his time here you cal use compressed air to simulate the ATF and verify the valving is actually working correctly.

Surging, bucking, intermittent code 0236
First off try removing the Quadzilla and seeing if you can reproduce the problem. If the problem goes away then the boost fooler in the Quadzilla is to blame. Now if the P0236 code returns there might be a wiring issue or a bad MAP sensor. Typically the P0236 is a boost too high for too long. Typically this is a boost fooler issue where the boost fooler is misreporting boost values. Like back in my Edge Comp days if you unhooked the MAP sensor and then ran the truck it would report max boost all the time and would set off the P0236 code because boost values wouldn't fall at idle or coasting.

I typically use my Fluke DVM for measuring the Amp draw of devices but it is normal probe type DVM.

Air in Fuel Line problems
Then the Raptor series is known for the issues of the quick connectors that they use. The seal will not prevent air from being sucked in on the suction side of the pump. So a quick test is to disconnect the suction line using clean thick axle grease then coat the the nipple with grease on the pump and side the connector back on and it should seal for a temporary time. If it does you need to convert over to the old school JIC fittings and push lock fittings that are all steel fittings. This would stop this issue. The other rare one is the pick up tube in the sender has cracked and sucking air when the fuel level drops below the crack in the plastic tubing.

Yeah, some of these leaked videos sometimes don't last very long and are pulled down. But I get tons of these kinds of video feeds from TikTok that everyone is so afraid the government is stealing your information from TikTok. Not so... Even with my my knowledge of the internet and servers the only thing they can get from my account is my phone number which is used to log in to TikTok. The biggest reason I watch TikTok is the fact the US government has no control over TikTok since it is a China-owned company and cannot push the democratic agenda that occurred with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Being the US government cannot squelch the voices here hence why I find all the US Senate and Congress meetings these are leaked out on TikTok till they possibly get reported. Just like the Supreme Court has ruled that the Biden Administration was caught violating the 1st Amendment and been told they can no longer squelch the free speech of US Americans in social media PERIOD! Then you see the governor of New Mexico that is trying to suspend the 1st and 2nd Amendments and they are starting to investigate into impeaching this governor (Michelle Lujan Grisham) and remove her from office for treason. Mainstream media is pumping out the Democratic agenda full throttle I see this from many people even here on the website. All I can say is you must think outside the box. Don't bother listening to mainstream media because its all lies and cover up to make the Democrats look like they are doing good things for the Americans. Sorry, this is all BS. Look at the price of oil going up price of diesel and gasoline is going up. The OPEC is telling the US they are cutting production in half. I found another video where Biden had stopped all the oil and natural gas leases in Alaska now. The US is not really producing any oil now and we are dependent on the Russians and OPEC for oil now. Let's talk about money. US Dollar is crashing in value. BRICS nations are now creating their own GOLD and SILVER-backed currency that will have a conversion of roughly 55 US dollars to 1 BRICS dollar. This will make the price of everything here soon to jump out of sight. Then the US is talking about creating a new fiat digital currency that will not be backed by gold or silver but continue to be backed by debt like currently but the bonus will be that the US Gov't will be able to track every transaction with the FedNow and CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency). Then if you are like me and want to buy a bit of ammo I might find that my money is frozen or might have Feds show up and want to know why I'm buying ammo. Yes, this has already happened with some people. I can go on and on about information I've found on the internet.

AC from AC?
Only a small tweak it is 25 PSI for most Mopar Products.

Anything that gets hot is a resistive connection. This mean the load stays the same but voltage gets reduced but current flow will increase typically. I would replace that fuse holder and check again.
-
AC from AC?
No, it's not normal. When A/C is running it should lock and stay locked. Cycling will enhance clutch wear. According to Sanden Compressors it should run locked normal but no more than 5 unlocks in 60 seconds. The only time cycling is normal is DEF mode in the winter it will cycle because of ambient temperature has condensef the freon and pressures are lower.

AC from AC?
Clutch shouldn't cycle. This is a sign your low on freon. Yup any coil like relays or A/C clutch can produce a surge or spike. If it was me I would check pressures on your A/C.

Bent Rear Sway Bar
This is why I have a small length of chain welded to the frame of the truck and a snap hook for my breakaway brake cable attaches too. This way if the hitch breaks from the frame the brake cable can still pull the brake pin on the trailer. So many people attach the brake cable to the hitch pin or to the safety chains. What would happen if the hitch completely failed and the brake cable was attached to the hitch? Bye Bye trailer...

Just consider the price of oil roughly 85 a barrel now and going to 300 a barrel. Then OPEC is cutting production. Then the dollar is losing value. Can you say 15 to 20 a gallon for fuel.
