Higher amp alternator recomendations ?
I wonder if there was a way to just order the diode packs from Nations alternators?

Curious what others think of installing a blocking diode to prevent AC Noise
Bingo... Here we are back around full circle just the way I see it too. Why not fix the actual issue than band-aiding over the top with add-ons. Still ask the same question. Why is it that these truck went for years without a issue and now all of a sudden requires add-on band-aids, modification, etc.? I would start back at resolving the issue at hand first. But I would start looking at better quality diode packs on the alternator. http://www.fostertruck.com/diode-pack-rectifier-bridge-for-dodge-denso-alternator.html

Here is JAG1 setup... Now we got to get Nick up for the summer event... Plenty of room in this park to gather.

On the Hunt for a Slide in Popup camper
Rubber mat might snag and ball up. JAG1 uses a slick plastic rail system to make the camper glide in. I'm not sure about the ratchet strap idea seems kind of weak?

Factory Battery Hold Down Mods/Repairs
@Me78569 You might look around there is plastic hold downs like my truck got. Much better than steel.

Auto to Manual Trans Swap
That's why I never built that much power... There isn't any transmission that holds up to 500 HP without serious modification. Even then the life span is very short. Having oversized tires puts even more stress on the transmission so failure is even more so common. Check around you find more transmission failures with oversized tires than stock sized.

Factory Battery Hold Down Mods/Repairs
Not bad... One way to bring life back to old battery hold down hardware. Nice how you fab'ed the nuts on top to allow you reuse you old bolts. I will highly suggest you keep a light coating of engine oil on everything and then they will never rot again. I still surprise most folks that look at my truck at how my battery terminal and hold down hardware is still working fine. It all about keeping that oily coating on the metal parts and the acid won't touch them.

On the Hunt for a Slide in Popup camper
I know the feeling... Went from... And upgraded too... I like the upgraded version myself. Yeah but when your center of gravity is that much higher you not going to to be whip around the canyons here with your beast. Your right you can get into some pretty back woods areas with a slide vs. travel trailer like mine that is 31 foot long. I will admit JAG1's slide in camper is very comfy. Wet bath, nice dining area, full size fridge, good side kitchen, and nice big bed.

Having Line X Applied to Hood
Yeah I normally just scratch the paint not down to bare metal. Sharpie might work kind of hit miss thing. If you wash areas with solvent it works better. Alight scratch is visible but hides good.

Lift Pump/ Fuel Supply Question
Problem is that it would be rather expensive building an stand alone controller that can read OBDII data for this information for tach signal.
