I hate to say it some people are just that dumb.

Maybe should try a set of ACDelco Ball joint like I've got going yet after 200k miles. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge,2002,ram+2500+pickup,5.9l+l6+diesel+turbocharged,1440064,suspension,ball+joint,10070 Sometimes you don't have to buy high dollar brand name to get quality.

Valve lash check won't here. You may end up pull the injectors and have them re-pop tested maybe something was done wrong on the injectors.

Just for heads up. Power Steering fluid should be changed every 30k miles. This doesn't mean suck out the fluid in the power and fill again. This means pushing over 2-3 quarts through the system until the output of the steering gearbox return hose looks clean. The steering box holds nearly a full quart by itself. 3 Forgot fluids... Power Steering fluid - Every 30k miles or every 36 months Coolant - When the pH level drifts away from 7 and turns corrosive. Brake fluid - Every 30k miles or every 36 months (Brake fluid is hygroscopic it will absorb water!)

Flip side... Out here it was commonplace to have cattle and sheep grazing out here controlling the fuel levels. Now sheep are illegal and cattle are limited to certain areas and times are shortened in some areas. So the amount of fuel are higher than normal now. Back in the 90's it was commonplace to see cows come creeping down the mountain behind the house or find the milling around the irrigation dam getting water. Nope... Just before the fire the grasses where over 4 foot tall back there and dry as a bone. Then talking to older loggers. It was commonplace to selective logging and keeping the lands cleaner. Now it turn it to more wilderness areas and more roads locked up and closed. Access to keeping the lands cleaned up is limited so USFS (Forest Circus) has figured just let it burn. We have had fires burning up here since MARCH! Yeap... USFS start control burns in March/April. Very rare anymore to see a clear blue sky. No. Nothing burned directly behind the house. Now 100-150 feet above the house on the road above that is another issue. Being that up there has always moved. It very possible for the road to have issues with mudslides. This would land on the neighbor's lap.

They are retards... I've been going out and getting burnt trees for over 15 years now. I've got a trailer load of red fir that is burnt right now. Good Lord states, "You can create nor destroy anything". All you dealing with is a solid form or carbon. Living or dead in a tree. Then when you burn it carbon is released as CO2 . Funny part just talking the fire science guys on the Rattlesnake fire he was telling me that the amount of emissions from a single wildland fire produces more than my truck will in it's "ENTIRE LIFE" in ONE HOUR! EPA worried about smog controls on vehicle why not get these fires out quit choking me with smoke for the last 2 week. I'll have to post a picture of the even time smoke levels. (Ugh)

Rear tilt. It will raise or lower the rear of the seat.

The only thing I can think of is a form of loc-tite. It would have to bond to the metal then bond to the valve seal without affecting the seal itself.

Possibly if the motor doesn't sense the park position like it should. I remember seeing my 73 Dodge Charger fail and that was funny. Turn the wipers off they would run backwards till the key was turned off. The park position read had broke and would continue to run. I'm assuming the same thing has happened the park read failed (or failing) so it some time sense to stop in the park position and other times it cycles a extra pass or two.

You asked...

I'm going to have lots of free firewood next year. There is patches where the trees either killed by flame temperature or torched. Plenty to get next year. she is hanging in there. Long rides back and forth to dialysis and just got home now.

Not deer signs but signs that deer might be in the area. Dead bodies or blood splatters.

Now you can run larger tires to bring down your ratio...

Quote function there are 3 ways. 1. Just hit the quote button on the post you want to quote. 2. Select the text you want to quote. Pause a second there should be a "Quote Selection" balloon show up. Click on it. 3. Hit the " (Quote tool) and it will create an empty quote box which you can copy and paste text into.

Just go down to the dealer have your wife blindfold you and pick one. Geez...

No. Stock head bolts.

your saying they will rise quickly while locked? Unlocked. Now the transmission is fluid coupled and fluid thrashing occurs.

If OD OFF is lit. Then it should shift to 3rd gear and lock up. If it's not lit and you driving with enough TV cable pull it will hold 3rd gear unlocked. You'll notice transmission temperatures rise fairly quickly. My 46RE in my 1/2 to does this. When I notice the hang and not up shifting I'll just hit the OD OFF and get the torque converter to lock in 3rd.

Actually applies to me. Worse yet some poor slob just hit an Elk about a week ago. Then you get into the backcountry like going towards Burgdorf, ID or Yellow Pine, ID you might just get your shot at hitting a Moose. I've been hoping to find something like a Buckstop but in a aluminum but I know that will cost a pretty penny. Since I don't have those kinds of funds I've just learn how to look for signs and drive cautiously.

Not exactly your set up but for info... HX35/40 Hybrid turbo (60/60/12), DAP 7 x 0.0085 injectors, Quadzilla Tuner, on my performance tune I'm hitting 45 PSI of boost and the rear tires comes loose in 4th gear (1:1 Direct). Spools pretty darn fast once the turbo lights up.

Lumbar adjustment. Most likely the compressor or vent valve. Up should run a small compressor pumping up the bladder in the lumbar area. Then the down should vent that back off deflating.

Neither are hard. Resistor is 2 screws and it drops out the bottom on the passenger side foot well.

Did you change the turbo specs? HX35W to something else?

Don't know. I'm on virgin ground learning how to do valve seals now. I just know I got to keep more oil in the pan and less from leaking out into the cylinder or on the ground. I know ultimately it would be best to rebuild the engine but I just gotta keep this old beast rolling.

Too many are after the Cool Factor. I'm after the performance factor. It might not look cool but it sure does scream down the pavement good!
