Winter Came!
Personally. I'd love to see a 4 foot winter here in my yard again. Been many many years ago. Even a winter with enough snow so I can use my blade on the ATV is good. I want deep.

Ok. So there is 2 people with them. Now lets see some good night time distance pictures. Nick has shown 2 pictures facing a wall. I want to see light distance...

15" of Global Warming......
Truck some of that white stuff to Idaho we can use some. Better yet, hitch up that cloud and tow it back here! I'm sure you Cummins can do it.

Grinding sound when driving straight or turning left
Heck you could of got a NAPA reman'ed power steering pump and done Cowboys steering pump mod and had the same thing. Would of saved a bunch! http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-12v-dodge-cummins/70-steering-and-suspension/502-hotrod-ps-pump Vacuum pump seal kits from Cummins is only $13 bucks. Again another cheap fix. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/26-engine-systems/469-vacuum-pump-rebuild

Yeah and no. By Thanksgiving the sky resorts should be opened and running with well above 4 foot of snow. http://brundage.com/snow-report/ 16" at the base and 22" at the summit... Way behind yet. Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

lift pump help
12V lift pump had issues with performance. http://www.torkteknology.com/news/5/Technical-Article-Number-One%252d-The-Cummins-Lift-Pump.html So with high performance in mind most moved back over to AirDog, FASS or some sort electric lift pump to resolve the high RPM volume loss.

Total Meltdown
Didn't bother with shrink tubing. I know its all within a tubed frame and not like being exposed under the trailer like most. I know optimally it would of been best to shrink it all. My shrink tubing supply is very limited.

Me??? You are mistaken JAG... Cycle the ignition key 3 times and count the flashes. I know this is tough for most people. The error codes are basic flash codes from CHECK ENGINE light. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/1st-generation-dodge-cummins/108-dumping-error-codes

My thought exactly! Front unit bearings are wearing out.

Total Meltdown
I've got this all repaired. Damage was rather minor really. All the melted wires were right there at the lights. After looking at how BigTex does wiring in the tail is awesome with everything a molded connector. So back to standard crimps and butt splices. Oh Well. The trailer plug was done pretty cool too. They had spade connectors and then inject some sort of sealant into the void of the wire to seal the bare connectors. Sad I had to hack that off and replace the plug too. There is no exposed wiring. They managed to create a small void along the frame rail for all the wiring to run down the driver side of the trailer.

lift pump help
DTT Assassin is the other pump just like the Fuel Boss but without a electric primer pump. The only problem is if you have prime issues you would have to pull the belt and use a cordless drill to reprime the system since there is no electric primer pump in that system. Another issues that neither Fuel Boss or DTT never solved is distance from the tank. Fuel pumps don't suck very well from long distances. This why everyone was relocating back to the fuel tank making the suction line as short as possible. Then even having Dodge putting the fuel pump in the tank.

Corrected. Permission problem. Thread moved.

Yes. Your still got a electric priming pump because Fuel Boss can't self prime.

2007 5.9 Fuel Pump Fuse or Relay Location
As far as the 2005 Dodge I just had here it was powered on a relay in the PDC. I'm almost positive it was in position 61for the relay and it had a 20 Amp fuse just cant remember the fuse position number.

Winter Came!
No. Where I live in this deep canyon you can see the winds high up on the ridge line. Now in the valley floor its just light surge now and then.

Vibration
Wow! Nature's Thread locker... RUST! You need to use the garden hose a bit more! I would have that joint broke down so you can inspect the condition of the socket in the center. Looks like it could of been wobbling a bit more than it should.

Cold Morning Rountines
Heck I don't even hook up the grid heaters till October when the temps start to fall close to 30*F. Even then it starts easy. I know the Mighty Cummins likes to have a breathe of warm air to get the morning started. Kind of like I like to have my hot cup of coffee in the morning too.

Cold Morning Rountines
The one thing I will share in regards to cold. If you park outside in the weather and plug in the block heater vs parked in a unheated shed and plugged in. I would say the enclosed shed would produce better results of keeping the cold wind form taking away the heat. Even if it one of those canopy car ports that's enclosed on both ends.

Winter Came!
Out eating lunch in New Meadows. As for snow I hope it stays. New Meadows rule of thumb is fence posts should be buried so roughly 4 foot of snow.

Boost leak test/check
I've got a AirDog 150 and kept my stock fuel filter. Best to keep the filter just install the boost gauge in that port.

Just aimed low angled. Yes I will admit your bulbs are much much brighter and wider range (left to right). Cost factor... Hmmm?

Works awesome in city use and never been pulled over. The lo beam are adjusted so they do not blind. Hi beams are like "Beam me up Scotty". Seriously though I've never had a single issue with people flashing there hi beams or been pulled over for either truck.

SHTF
Solution I found that works very well. For long term storage of gasoline is a 55 gallon drum will air tight bungs. I've been storing gasoline for YEARS with no loss or issues. As long as the drum is air tight container and does not breathe the fuel will last very long time. Also store diesel in the same manner. I picked up the drums from a oil distribution house that had fresh engine oil and the drum were clean and rust free. Cost only $20 a drum. Like yesterday instead of driving to town for 10 gallons of gasoline. I just pulled 10 gallons from the drum. When I unscrewed the bung it have a good hard vacuum on it. I know my bungs are still good and the o-ring can be replaced if needed. No issues with the fuel even with long term storage. Like during the flood of 96-97 I have all the gasoline I could every want. 4 vehicles of our own at the time will 1/2 tank or better. Then the 4 other families had vehicles with fuel in them as well. Gasoline was plentiful and very easy to get. Potable generator where easy to unplug and relocate to another house for few hours. Propane has to be hard plumbed in. As for storage of your generator with gasoline is easy too. Most have a fuel valve just shut the valve run the carb dry. I typically try to exercise my gennies 1 a month (at least the main one). The other two are stored empty because the tanks are vented like AH64ID fuel will not keep. This applies to vented containers.
