How Hot are Your Hydroboost Lines?
Inline filter will do nothing for the suldge issue your still going to have to flush the system every 30k miles. That is majority of the issue tbe fluid breaks down and suldges up just like engine oil. No filter will fix that issue. Still running on monthly inspections and changing fluids when they discolor or mileage exceeded.

Oil change interval question
As long as the vehicle is making full engine temperature (190*F) for most of the travel then you're fine. But now if the engine isn't making full temperature every trip them shorter oil change will be required.

11 months sitting, anything I should do?
I wouldn't use it either... Like all my gasoline engine I run the fuel system dry and let it die out. Diesel as long as the vehicle is out of the weather you can leave it loaded with fuel with no issues. If being stored in the weather with extreme cold and heat I would be more after changing all fluids out including the fuel being that the tank breathes and it will draw in moisture. Just like the axles, transfer case, and transmission will.

No. None of the older vehicles are set up for E85 fuels not to mention you need to run special engine oil while using E85 or engine damage might occur. Just like using greater than B20 diesel requires different oil change intervals.

Take a hand full of gravel and toss it in the tank and shake it around. This should help remove some of the junk on the tank. The fuel is fine use it. I've got a 55 gallon drum full of fuel and it's like 7 years old I'll still use it.

CAN Bus Network
CAN BUS COMMUNICATION DESCRIPTION The primary onboard communication network between microprocessor~based electronic control modules in this vehicle is the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus system. A data bus network minimizes redundant wiring connections; and, at the same time, reduces wire harness complexity, sensor current loads, and controller hardware by allowing each senSing device to be connected to only one module (also referred to as a node). Each node reads then broadcasts its sensor data over the bus for use by other nodes requiring that data. Each node ignores the messages on the bus that it cannot use. The CAN bus is a two-wire multiplex system. Multiplexing is any system that enables the transmission of multiple messages over a single channel or circuit. The CAN bus is used for communication between most vehicle nodes. However, in addition to the CAN bus network, certain nodes may also be equipped with a dedicated Serial Controller Interlace (SCI) or a K-Line serial link bus to provide direct communication between that node and certain sensor inputs. There are actually three separate CAN bus systems used in the vehicle. They are designated: the CAN-B, the CAN-C and the Diagnostic CAN-C. The CAN-B and CAN-C systems provide on-board communication between all nodes in the vehicle. The CAN-C is the faster of the two systems providing near real-time communication (500 Kbps), but is less fault tolerant than the CAN-B system. The CAN-C is used typically for communications between more critical nodes, while the slower (83.3 Kbps), but more fault tolerant CAN-B system is used for communications between less critical nodes. The CAN-8 fault tolerance comes from its ability to revert to a single wire communication mode if there is a problem in the bus wiring. The added speed of the CAN data bus is many times faster than previous data bus systems. This added speed facilitates the addition of more electronic control modules or nodes and the incorporation of many new electrical and electronic features in the vehicle. The Diagnostic CAN-C bus is also capable of 500 Kbps communication. and is sometimes informally referred to as the CAN-D system to differentiate it from the other high-speed CAN-C bus. The Diagnostic CAN-C is used exclusively for the transmission of diagnostic information between the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central GateWay (TJPM or TIPMCGW) and a diagnostic scan tool connected to the industry-standard 1 B-way Data Link Connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel on the driver-side of the vehicle. The TIPM is located in the engine compartment near the battery. The central CAN gateway or hub module integral to the TIPMs connected to all three CAN buses. This gateway physically and electrically isolates the CAN buses from each other and coordinates the b;-directional transfer of messages between them. OPERATION The Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus allows aU electronic modules or nodes connected to the bus to share information with each other. Regardless of whether a message originates from a module on the lower speed CAN-B bus or on the higher speed CAN-C or CAN·D bus, the message structure and layout is similar, which allows the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and transfer messages between the buses. The TIPM also stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for certain bus network faults. All modules (also referred to as nodes) transmit and receive messages over one of these buses. Data exchange between nodes is achieved by serial transmission of encoded data messages. Each node can both send and receive serial data simultaneously. Each digital bit of a CAN bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between the two bus circuits whiCh, when strung together, form a message. Each node uses arbitration to sort the message priority jf two competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time. The voltage network used to transmit messages requires biasing and termination. Each module on the CAN bus network provides its own biaSing and termination. There are two types of nodes used in the CAN bus net.w0rk. On the CAN-C bus, a dominant node has a 120-ohm termination resistance, white a non-dominant (or recessive) node has about a 2500 to 3000 ohm (2.5 to 3.0 kilohm) termination resistance. The dominant nodes on the CAN·C bus are the TIPM and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The termination resistance of two dominant nodes is combined in parallel to provide a total of about 60 ohms. This resistance value may vary somewhat by application, depending upon the number of non-dominant nodes on the CAN-C bus. On the CAN-D bus (or Diagnostic CAN-C) an of the 60-ohm termination resistance is present in the Central GateWay (TIPMCGW). NOTE: Termination resistance of a CAN-B node cannot be verified with a Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) or Digital Volt Ohm Meter (DVOM). The transceiver of each CAN-B node connects to termination resistors internally. When the vehicle battery Is disconnected, the internal connections of all CAN Bus node transceivers are switched open, disconnecting the termination resistors. Therefore, the total bus resistance measured under these conditions will be extremely high or infinite, which does not accurately reflect the actual termination resistance of the CAN-B bus. The communication protocol is used for the CAN data bus is a non-proprietary, open standard adopted from the Bosch CAN Specification 2.0b. The CAN-C is the faster of the two primary buses in the CAN bus system, providing near real-time communication (500 Kbps). The CAN bus nodes are Connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction, thus preventing interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. The twisted pairs have between 33 and 50 twists per meter (yard). While the CAN bus is operating (active), one of the bus wires will carry a higher voltage and is referred to as the CAN High or CAN bus (+) wire, while the other bus wire will carry a lower voltage and is referred to as the CAN Low or CAN bus (-) wire. Refer to the CAN Bus Voltages table.

E15
Something I found in Ram's FSM... Just figured I'd toss it out here as well. Because E·85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than gasoline, you will experience an increase in fuel consumption. You can expect your MPG and your driving range to decrease by about 30% compared to gasoline operation.

CP3 Injection pump
CP3 INJECTION PUMP DESCRIPTION A Robert Bosch high-pressure CP3 fuel injection pump is used. The CP3 pump is attached to the back at the timing gear housing at the left ftront side of the engine. OPERATION The CP3 fuel injection pump supplies high pressure to the fuel rail independent of engine speed. This high pressure is then accumulated in the fuel rail. High-pressure fuel is constantly supplied to the injectors by the fuel rail. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the fueling and timing of the engine by actuating the injectors. Fuel enters the system from the electric fuel transfer (lift) pump, which is located in the fuel tank. Fuel is forced through the fuel filter element and then enters the Fuel Pump/Gear Pump. which is attached to the rear of the CP3 fuel injection pump. The Fuel Pump/Gear Pump is a low-pressure pump and produces a minimum pressure of 440 kpa (64psi). Fuel then enters the CP3 fuel injection pump. Low-pressure fuel is then supplied to the FCA (Fuel Control Actuator). The FCA is an electronically controlled solenoid valve. The ECM controls the amount of fuel that enters the high-pressure pumping chambers by opening and closing the FCA based on a demanded fuel pressure. The FPS (Fuel Pressure Sensor) on the fuel rail provides the actual fuel pressure. When the actuator is opened, the maximum amount of fuel is being supplied to the CP3 fuel injection pump. Any fuel that does not enter the injection pump is directed to the cascade overflow valve. The cascade overflow valve regulates how much excess fuel is used for lubrication of the pump and how much is returned to the tank through the drain manifold. Fuel entering the injection pump is pressurized to between 200-1800 bar (2901 - 26107 psi) by three radial pumping chambers. The pressurized fuel is then supplied to the fuel rail. REMOVAL CAUTION: Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized when handling or replacing diesel fuel system components. This especially includes the fuel injectors, high-pressure fuel lines and CP3 fuel injection pump. Very tight tolerances are used with these parts. Dirt contamination could cause rapid part wear and possible plugging of fuel injector nozzle tip holes. This, in turn, could lead to a possible engine misfire. Always wash/clean any fuel system component thoroughly before disassembly and then air dry. Cap or cover any open part after disassembly. Before assembly, examine each part for dirt, grease or other contaminants and clean if necessary. When installing new parts, lubricate them with clean engine oil or clean diesel fuel only. 1. Disconnect both negative battery cables at both batteries. Cover and isolate ends of both cables. 2. Remove intake manifold air intake tube (above injection pump) and its rubber connector hose. 3. Remove accessory drive belt. 4. Thoroughly clean rear of injection pump, and attachment points for its fuel lines. Also clean the opposite ends of these same lines at their attachment points. 5. Disconnect quick-connect fitting by pressing on button. CAUTION: Whenever a fuel line fitting is connected to. a secondary fitting, always use a backup wrench on the secondary fitting. Do not allow the secondary fitting to rotate. 6. Remove high-pressure fuel line to fuel rail. 7. Remove banjo bolt. 8. Disconnect FCA (Fuel Control Actuator) electrical connector. 9.

Inspect pump mounting surfaces at pump and mounting flange and pilot bore for nicks, cuts or damage. Inspect O-ring surfaces for nicks, cuts or damage. 2. Clean injection pump mounting flange and pilot bore at gear housing. Also clean front of injection pump. 3. Install new rubber O-ring (square) into machined groove at pump mounting area. 4. Apply clean engine oil to injection pump O-ring and pilot bore only. The machined tapers on both injection pump shaft and injection pump gear must be absolutely dry, clean and free of any dirt or oil film. This will ensure proper gear-to-shaft tightening. 5. Clean pump gear and pump shaft at machined tapers with an evaporative type cleaner such as brake cleaner. 6. FUEL INJECTION PUMP PHASING: Perform the following phasing procedure anytime the injection pump has been removed and re-installed. 7. Locate the end of the fuel injection pump shaft. Two numbers (750 and 0) are stamped into the end of the shaft. 8. Rotate the injection pump shaft until the number 5 (located in the center of number 750) is positioned at 9 o'clock. 9. Position injection pump to mounting flange on gear housing while aligning injection pump shaft through back of injection pump gear. Be sure the number 5 is still at the 9 o'clock position. 10. Bring the engine to TOe position. Do this by rotating the crankshaft until the TDe mark on the crankshaft damper is at 12 o'clock position. It does not matter if cylinder #1 or #6 is at top. Again, check to be sure the number 5 is still at the 9 o'clock position. Rotate pump shaft accordingly. 11. After pump is positioned flat to mounting flange, install three pump mounting nuts and tighten finger tight only. Do not attempt a final tightening at this time.

Fuel Heater
FUEL HEATER OPERATION The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from waxing during cold weather operation. When the fuel temperature is below 45° ±8 F (7°C), the temperature sensor allows current to flow to the heater element warming the fuel. When the fuel temperature is above 75 0 ±8 F (24°C), the sensor stops current flow to the heater element. Battery voltage to operate the fuel heater element is supplied from the ignition switch and through a solid stated device in the TIPM. The fuel heater element and "solid state device in TIPM" are not computer controlled.The heater element operates on 12 volts, 300 watts at 0° F (-18° C). DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING FUEL HEATER The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from waxing during cold weather operation. NOTE: The fuel heater element, "solid state device in TIPM" is not controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM). A malfunctioning fuel heater can cause a wax build-up in the fuel filter/water separator. Wax build-up in the filter/separator can cause engine starting problems and prevent the engine from revving up. It can also cause blue or white fog-like exhaust. If the heater is not operating in cold temperatures, the engine may not operate due to fuel waxing. The fuel heater assembly is located on the side of the fuel filter housing and internal to the fuel filter housing. The heater assembly is equipped with a built-in fuel temperature sensor (thermostat) that senses fuel temperature. When fuel temperature drops below 45° ± 8° F (7° C), the sensor allows current to flow to the built-in heater element to warm fuel. When fuel temperature rises above 75 o± 8° F (24° C), the sensor stops current flow to heater element ( the circuit is open). Voltage to operate fuel heater element is supplied from the ignition switch, though solid state device in TIPM, to fuel temperature sensor and on to fuel heater element. The heater element operates on 12 volts, 300 watts at 0 OF (-18° C). As temperature increases, power requirements decrease. A minimum of 7 volts is required to operate the fuel heater. The resistance value of the heater element is less than 1 ohm (cold) and up to 1000 ohms warm. TESTING 1. Disconnect the electrical connector from the heater element. Ambient temperature must be below the circuit close temperature. If necessary, induce this ambient temperature by placing ice packs on a thermostat to produce an effective ambient temperature below circuit close temperature. Measure resistance across two pins. Operating range is 0.3 - 0.45 Ohms. 2. If resistance is out of range, replace heater element.

Repriming a fuel system
FUEL SYSTEM PRIMING A certain amount of air becomes trapped in the fuel system when fuel system components on the supply and/or high-pressure side are serviced or replaced. Fuel system priming is accomplished using the electric fuel transfer (lift) pump. Servicing or replacing fuel system components will not require fuel system priming. The fuel transfer (lift) pump is self-priming: When the key is first turned on (without cranking engine), the pump operates for approximately 1 to 2 second and then shuts off (Note: When ambient temperatures are cold enough to cause the intake air heaters to operate, the fuel lift pump will operate during the entire intake air pre-heat cycle). The pump will also operate for up to 25 seconds after the starter is quickly engaged, and then disengaged without allowing the engine to start. The pump shuts off immediately if the key is on and the engine stops running. 1. Turn the key to CRANK position and quickly release the key to ON position before engine starts. This will operate fuel transfer pump for approximately 25 seconds. 2. Crank engine. If the engine does not start after 25 seconds, turn the key to OFF position, and leave it off for at least 5 seconds. Repeat the previous step until the engine starts. 3. Fuel system priming is now completed. 4. Attempt to start the engine. If the engine will not start, proceed to following steps. When the engine does start, it may run erratically and be noisy for a few minutes. This is a normal condition. CAUTION: Do not engage the starter motor for more than 30 seconds at a time. Allow two minutes between cranking intervals. 5. Perform previous fuel priming procedure steps using fuel transfer pump. Be sure fuel is present at the fuel tank. 6. Crank the engine for 30 seconds at a time to allow fuel system to prime. WARNING: The fuel injection pump supplies extremely high fuel pressure to each individual injector through the high-pressure lines. Fuel under this amount of pressure can penetrate the skin and cause personal injury. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing. Do not loosen fuel fittings while the engine is running.

Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF)
MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR (MAF) OPERATION The Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor is a frequency based device. A constant voltage is applied to a heated wire on the sensor. This wire is positioned in the air cleaner air stream and is heated by the electrical current that the voltage produces. As air flows across it, it cools down. The heated wire or film is a positive temperature coefficient resistor. This means that its resistance drops when its temperature drops. The drop in resistance allows more current to flow through it in order to maintain the programmed temperature. This current is changed to a frequency which is sent to the Engine Control Module (ECM) and interpreted as air flow. Adjustments for air temperature and humidity are taken into consideration because they also affect the temperature of the heated wire or film. REMOVAL The Mass Airflow Sensor (5) is located on the air cleaner cover (8). 1. Disconnect electrical connector (6) at sensor. 2. Remove two mounting screws (4). 3. Remove sensor from air cleaner cover. INSTALLATION 1. Check condition of sensor O-ring. 2. Position sensor into top of air cleaner cover with a slight twisting action. 3.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP)
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR DESCRIPTION The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) on the diesel engine is attached at the front / left side of the engine next to the engine harmonic balancer (crankshaft damper). OPERATION The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) (5) is the primary engine speed indicator for the engine after the engine is running. The CKP contains a hall effect device. A rotating, notched target wheel (tone wheel) for the CKP is located behind the engine harmonic balancer (2). This has effect device detects notches located on the tone wheel. As the tone wheel rotates, the notches pass the tip of the CKP. When the leading edge of the tonewheel notch passes the tip of the CKP, the following occurs: The interruption of the magnetic field causes the voltage to switch high resulting in a signal of approximately 5 volts. When the trailing edge of the tonewheel notch passes the tip of the CKP, the following occurs: The change of the magnetic field causes the signal voltage to switch low to 0 volts. The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) also provides a signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM) at all times when the engine is running. The ECM uses this CMP information primarily on engine start-up. Once the engine is running, the ECM uses the CMP as a backup sensor for engine speed. REMOVAL 1. Raise and support vehicle 2. Disconnect electrical connector (4) at CKP sensor. 3. Remove 1 sensor mounting bolt (3). 4. Remove CKP sensor. INSTALLATION 1. Position and install CKP sensor (5) to engine. 2. Install 1 sensor mounting bolt and tighten to 9 N·m (80 in. Ibs.) torque. 3. Install electrical connector (4) to CKP sensor.

APPS Sensor
APPS (Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor) DESCRIPTION The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) is located inside the vehicle. It is attached to the accelerator pedal assembly. OPERATION The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with two DC voltage signals which change as the position of the accelerator pedal changes. One of the DC voltage signals will be half the voltage of the other signal. REMOVAL CAUTION: Do not attempt to separate or remove the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) from the accelerator pedal assembly. The APPS is replaced as an assembly along with the pedal. If sensor is removed from pedal, its electronic calibration may be destroyed. 1. Disconnect 6-way electrical connector at top of APPS (2). 2. Remove APPS lower mounting bolt (4) and two mounting nuts. 3. Remove pedal and APPS assembly from vehicle. INSTALLATION CAUTION: Do not attempt to separate or remove the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) from the accelerator pedal assembly. The APPS is replaced as an assembly along with the pedal. If sensor is removed from pedal, its electronic calibration may be destroyed. 1. Position pedal and APPS assembly to its mounting bracket. 2. Connect 6-way electrical connector to top of APPS (2). 3. Install APPS lower mounting bolt (4) and two mounting nuts. 4. If necessary. use a Scan Tool to erase any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (OTC's).

How Hot are Your Hydroboost Lines?
Not much in a sagnaw steering box. There are only 3 bearings in a sagnaw. 1 bearing on the output shaft and 2 bearings at the base of the input and the cap. Rest is all harden parts and seals that wear out. The biggest problem is the amount of sludge that will be in the box The small orifices that are part of the power valve assembly will be where the problem will be is the valve gets gummed up with sludge.

Quadzilla iQuad bluetooth issues
Noisy environment... Hmmm... Gotta remember I'm running Azpen A729 tablet with bluetooth on the OBDLink LX dongle. Then the bluetooth head is on the other side of the firewall and the body metal is ground acting like a signal shielding. The Bluetooth head should be either on the cab side so there is no metal shielding out. Other idea is to have the head at least outside the engine are in the cowling area at least the signal has a better chance. One day soon I'll be upgrading to a stereo with bluetooth being my cellphone can handle data on the first bluetooth and audio on the second bluetooth. Yes LG G5 can handle 2 bluetooth devices at once.

VP44 PSG5 limitations read/write
Not hardly... I've seen some owner put aluminum boxes around the filters and have objects strike the box hard enough to dent the box and the filter still. 85 MPH and a tire picks up an object and throws it's going to be a missile. If you are using your truck offroad and hook the box or guard it will still take the filters right off. As some of the local ranchers have done as well.
