@jlbayes happen to be one of our HP/TQ gurus here. He's worth listening too.

Still in all the reading and looking there is no reason for the cause of the derailment.

Like @jlbayes would say best to stick with stock exhaust manifolds.

Two plugs by the valve cover. Then the plug in the PDC that is bolted down.

Which version of ABS, rear wheel or 4 wheel ABS?

I've moved your post here so people would see it. As for your issue. You need to change the cam and gear case to fix the issue. What is happening is the cam gear has the wrong tone ring and the cam sensor will be in the wrong location when you change the cam. So most just change out the cam for the 2002 cam and then while the cam is out change the gear case.

This is not a APPS problem too many look at the APPS first. I would start with AC noise testing from the alternator. Check for any error codes present on either computer. Is there any modification to the electrical system added grounds or noise filters? I highly suggest that all electrical is returned back to stock and any noise filters and extra grounds removed that are not factory.

I would avoid using a toy hauler for storage. That will get very old after awhile being limited but all the stuff piled up. Generator will get really old to listening to it run. No matter how good of a generator you have on board it will get old listening to the droning engine under the floor. This is why I went to solar and inverter that way I don't listen to the noise nor have to keep feeding it expensive fuel to have power. Like @LiDaR lives in a 31' Airstream Trailer and which she has customized to fit her needs. Still, in all, she has a storage unit because there is only so much you can cram in an RV and eventually you start moving things out because you'll get tired of tripping over stuff. I've lived out of a Class C Dodge Jamboree motorhome (20 foot) for a few years. You'll find out there will always be too much stuff crammed in the RV and be looking to either sell it or put it in storage because space is limited. At first, you find you can get everything to fit inside but then you start learning that every time your looking for something you end up pulling a bunch of stuff out to find the thing/object you're looking for. The only thing I can suggest is downsize and sell you excess stuff and/or find a storage unit. I highly suggest that you don't attempt to get a RV for storage reasons and living quarters you will not be happy. Best suggestion is to buy a second enclosed utility trailer for storage. This way you can store your stuff on your property in another trailer.

No reason to clean the IAT or MAP sensor. It's an internet Myth. Being I created the IAT fooler for MPG's and proved time and time again that IAT temperature of 100-140*F is optimal. Cold air degrades MPG performance. Cleaning the sensor will not change the reported temperature nor fix any error codes. To check IAT performance just plug in a live data tool verify the temperatures report by IAT and ECT are the same at first key on in the morning.

Absolutely... Way too much focus on the toys, glitz, etc. Floor plan, cooking/prep space, bathroom layout, bedroom layout are important. Won't do you any good to have a tiny bathroom you keep bumping elbows or your head attempted to bathe yourself. You won't survive long if you have a bed that is too small to sleep in or uncomfortable. Get's rather maddening if you don't have good amount of room for cooking and prepping for cooking. So like when I did my walk through I actually laid in the beds. Found out the jack-knife sofa fits MoparMom just fine and the Queen bed is fine for me. The Jack-knife sofa I can lay on but I'm stuffed wall to wall to fit kind of uncomfortable. The tub/shower is plenty large enough for me to bend over wash my lower body without hitting anything. There is space for cooking and prep work but you have to plan it out and keep thing cleaned up. So it depends on your usage of the RV. Like mine is truely recreational use vs living full time which will change the floorplan requirements some. https://mopar1973man.com/garage/vehicle/103-2000-jayco-eagle-296-fbs/

Personal I like bumper pulls over 5th wheels. Like my photo above I couldn't haul my ATV along with me if I had a 5th wheel. No, I don't want a toy hauler either. The thing about toy hauler is you end up with the fuel smell and dirt/mud from your toys in the trailer. So in my case the ATV loads in the bed of the truck and now hitch up the trailer. The RV remains a living quarters and I still keep the bed of the truck for haulng more cargo and no a 5th wheel plate. Also bumper pulls only put about 12-15% of the trailer weight on the truck. Where 5th wheel places about 25% of the trailer weight on the truck. So for example my 8,000 pound RV is about 1200 pounds of tongue weight vs a 5th weight design 2000 or more. I'm the same way the canopy be comes extra storage if need be. But with a 5th wheel that storage is lost.

Most likely right...

15 dollar apps sensor is risky. Most likely going have issues fairly quick. Basically the CCD network has issues. Shorted to ground, shorted to 5V or 12V which you can test for using the wiring diagrams and a DVM. You can isolate the CCD network by unplugging all the other modules.

Might have... But... We found what we were looking for... As for @LiDaR posted picture it refers back to this...

Yon need to bring it out to the camp out in August so I get a least a ride in your beast...

Kind of similar but long ways away... I'm 31 foot long.

First read over the article understand the issue. This is your PCM causing issues on the CCD Network. If the CCD network fails then the communication between all the computers fail. So PCM and ECM can't talk to each other. Being the PCM is the primary computer and the ECM is secondary it's very important to get the PCM working again. I wouldn't of wasting the money on the APPS sensor it's not the cause.

Heck 9 years old not bad for a failure...

Very possible. Because as load goes up pulling the voltage of the system down the field leads go to full 12 volt and current goes up on both the field and the charge output. So the stronger the magnet field on the armature the more charge current from the alternator. If the period of time of the high load could of heat damaged the brush holders. (Thinking out loud...)

Like my compressor is fine for A/C performance but @IBMobile mention in a previous post my belt squeak is a clutch assembly issue. So this week I'm going to be shopping for a new A/C compressor to replace this one because with hot weather coming and the belt squeak problem I don't need any failures on the truck.

Did you keep up on the electrolyte level in the batteries? If you don't the surface of the plates that are exposed to air are permanently damaged and there is no way to repair or recover the plate surface to functional. Do you make sure to charge the batteries every time you start the truck? All too often do I see people fire up and drive a very short distance like less than 5 miles and shut down. The engine isn't even warmed up nor is the batteries. So all the time during the cold battery state it resists charging and takes longer to recover. Did you at any point allow the rest voltage to fall below 11.0 volts? If the battery voltage falls below 11.0 volts permanent battery damage occurs. The longer its left in this state the more permanent the damage to the battery. Battery must be charged immediately to prevent damage to the battery. Do you "equalize charge" your batteries if you add distilled water? Any time you add distilled water to a battery it will stratify or remain separated. So what you do is proform a equalize charge to the battery which is basically a over charging of the battery till it boils. So for 12V batteries Equalize Charge will be 15.0 to 15.5 volts till low amp charge occurs. Also be aware of the battery temperature and not let it overheat either.

I've got lucky and found a wonderful woman. We've met about a month ago on a dating site. What is so fascinating about this get together is that I did something most don't ever do on a dating site. I listed all the thing I wanted and didn't want in a woman. Which filtered off a lot of people because of my requirements. Then comes Donna that fits my requirements completely. She had to find out more about me. The first date was to meet in Riggins, Idaho and she enjoyed the first meet. She asked me to come down to her place and have dinner with her. Then next weekend we did a camp out on the Salmon River which we both enjoyed the time together. Then this weekend we did a repeat of the same camp out because of the first one was so fun. So I can't hide the fact of Donna is becoming part of my life. So I had to share... Donna also registered up here as well as @LiDaR . She is a little green about web forums I've got to teach her a few things yet.

You need to see what happens when it dies. You might look at the idea of using a Live Data tool like OBDLink and reviewing the data logs when it does die. Some vehicle may have fuel pressure as a sensor and most don't.

I would be hooking up a test fuel pressure gauge and route it to the windshield and watch the fuel pressure and see if it drops out. I know that if the rail pressure on fuel injection gets too low it will die out. It could be the fuel pump can't keep up with highway loads and dies out.

Like I've got the 31 foot Jayco and I love the extra heavy duty frame. There is way less flexing of the body this way. 50 gallons of fresh water, 2 gray holding tanks, and 1 black tank. Two 30 pound propane bottles. Now with the solar power and the 1,200w inverter, I can boondock anywhere now. For two people they can live very well in mt 31 foot RV plenty or water for weekend getaways and enough storage to eat like a king for a weekend. As for mine I used it a few time for job site work and it's not bad. Vey roomy for 2 people to stay in and plenty of room to stretch out. Kind of like this weekend for me I kind of escaped for a period of time on the Salmon River in Riggins, ID. I just got home today.
