Dead fuel gauge
Opps I missed that... So did you center the sender in the tank? So the float isn't hung up on the walls? Loosen the ring and turn the sender slowly left to right listening for the arm to strike the tank. Split it half and tighten again.

Dead fuel gauge
The only thing I can think off would be do a AC noise test on the alternator verify there is no excessive AC noise beating up the PCM. Beyond that I would say replace the sender in the tank which is about $80 bucks or so. It could be you have a weak spot in the rheostat still. Like on my 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 the range around 3/4 to 7/8 of a tank the gauge needle drops to Empty and trips the light. As you consume fuel and get below 3/4 of a tank it pops right back up. Like on my 2002 when the sender failed it was running out of fuel at 1/2 tank to 3/8 of a tank. So fuel sender weirdness does occur with age so I wouls start there first.

Manual Trans Conversion - Seeking Advice/Tips/Issues/etc
All I see is a automatic transmission sitting against the wall. Trucks gone so I assume it completed and converted.

VP44 dead with 80 k miles?
Not much lubricant. PS is only +61 point gain vs 2 cycle +162 point gain. I think you mean P0230 code right? If so then its an electrical issue from the ECM to the fuel pump relay trigger. So the pump has internal issues I'm going to bet that diesel fuel leaked into the motor wiping out the brushes. Raptor pumps are known for this problem. I personally don't like any DDRP styled pump. This implies that you are going to be using stock location and stock plumbing. Now if you the relocation kit with it then you are OK... Of course this just added more to the price tag.

TIRES
So far I'm not exactly impressed with the so called stone ejector design. Supposedly the tread is suppose to stepped to reject stones from sticking in the tread. Sad to say it holds on to stones quite well.

Radiator support removal?
The engine is already out and being rebuilt at this time. Just waiting for the phone call to go get it down in Caldwell, ID.

Turbo rebuild
Best I can say is measure your old wheel. At least I found a place that sells compressor wheels.

Redhead or Bluetop?
So you might be stuck buying a reman'ed box to resolve the issue.

TIRES
I climb 6-7% grade without issues typically again rarely do I need 4WD but if the conditions are slick enough I'll use it. Most highway out here are OK for conditions. Typically snow covered. Still run just 2WD with H/T tire like last winter (unstudded). This winter I'll be running on A/T tires still unstudded. Still run in 2WD for most of it. Now yes towing a loaded trailer yes I would be in 4WD. I'm the type to drive as far as I can safely with 2WD so 4WD is my fall back if I do get stuck or squirrelly. I do have road chains but never really needed them unless I'm travelling up in the forest beyond plowed roads. My trailer season basically ends at snow fly. Can't use the RV nor am I hauling firewood out in the winter snow. I've been know to still run the trailer for hauling stuff for other in the winter.

tritium!!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium That doesn't make me feel good wearing a radioactive watch.

Dirty battery cable...Trans shift weird.
Personally, I like soldering on the terminals being the solder will creep inside the vinyl jacket and also seal the copper from future corrosion issues. The soldering has welded the copper to the terminal together and contact is solid. Crimping is good to only if you can get the crimping tool.

So that idea goes out the window. I want to do it with a friend about 3 years ago being we tend to run together quite a bit in the fire dept and search and rescue. All that changed when he moving to Washington.

Redhead or Bluetop?
I went ahead yesterday just to understand the feel I cranked mine to dead bottom tight. You are right is very stiff feeling, require constant steering, won't track very well at all, kind of like sticks in one spot. Return home, then adjusted from bottom I loosen 1 full turn and I was back to good free steering and still responsive.

On to the next problem, a leaking head gasket.
As for the block flush, it list here on M73M.com in an old post. The product is a clear liquid sold in a round 1-gallon jug and more or less a plain white label if I remember right. It's a pretty stout chemical being it will remove rust and scale build-up from the entire cooling system. It's actually designed for engines. If I'm not mistaken Cummins sells it. (IIRC...)

??? I haven't wore a watch in over 25 years. I've got nothing in my life that I got to schedule for.

I've never run studs. Rare to see me use 4WD in the winter. Even more rare to see me put chains on.

Then you should be rather happy with Cooper STT's they are nearly the same tread pattern just slight differences to the Toyo M/T's

Unidentified noise
Be careful with the greasing idea. That why I got to ditch mine now because the graphite in the grease is messing with the ABS sensors. So now I got to replace my wheel bearing in front because of a grease issue. If I take the time and blow the grease out of the tone wheel teeth it last for about 2-3 days and comes right back after the grease get back in the teeth.

TIRES
Well I can't verify the measurement because my rims crack and the next day were headed to the scrap yard. I was stating I guess incorrect second hand information then. I had 265's from the factory.

Hillary Guilty?!
- Unidentified noise
That's why my ABS lights are still on. Wheel bearing are fine but the tone rings are screwed. My ABS isn't worth another $400 for wheel bearings. NAPA price is about $236 a bearing.- Ham radio operators
