Bumper welding this weekend
Disconnect the positives as well. Several devices get connection to ground through the frame so unhooking the negative terminal disables the batteries but doesn't disable all the grounds. Like every thing in the dash is grounded to the driver side kick panel.

NV4500 5 speed Synchro(s)
As far as I've seen most dual disc clutches are more designed for racing than daily driving.

Best option for rebuilt ECM
Sorry... I've never had a ECM failure yet in 246k miles.

Brakes.
What I know a change of axle. I don't think the axle stubs are the same.

Brakes.
Same for the rear you need caliper and brackets as well.

Brakes.
Sound like a simple fix. It the pistons have gorwn in size with caked on brake fluid. Just remove them and clean the pistons up. As for doing the 3rd Gen brake up grade as far as I know they do fix both front and read axles but you must change tires and wheels.

Window Deflector
No double side tape or gluing required. Just tuck it right into the window channel and the glass pinches it into place. It can't be removed with the windows rolled up. You can leave your windows down 1-2 inches and vent the cab all day long. Just lower the windows a little bit and using any vent setting other than MAX A/C will draw air through faster. So like defogging glass turn your DEF on and it will pull more air into the glass. Another is put it on A/C (not MAX A/C) and crack your windows and it will cool the cab off faster.

Drop in injectors
Not as bad as you think. If I shot a picture from the driver eye angle there width is no different.

Drop in injectors
This summer maybe... I want to get a new set of banner sticker going for the windshield but I just need time to finish things. Turn down the Edge Comp naw... As for the gauges I took the challenge of the electric gauges to see if I can keep fuel pressure gauges from blowing senders. So far so good and hold good. I've got a design set up with Eric at Vulcan Performance on the sender brackets. So a solution is in the future. Another feature is the gauges are programmable.

Asking for prayers for Texas...
http://www.stevequayle.com/index.php?s=33&d=1429 At the present time Texas is under attack. The Men and Women of the state of Texas have stood up, and spoke out, against the plans (Jade Helm 15) that the military, police and state representatives have in store for them to take their freedoms. Texas had the courage to speak out, now it’s time for the rest of this nation to back them up. I am requesting all prayer warriors, all individuals under the current 40 day fast and all Christians of this nation to take a knee! Pray to our father, JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, and ask that he and GOD’S Angels intercede now, and push back the manmade storms that are being sent to weaken the state of Texas. Pray this in the name of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZERATH. SealMan……..

Help Lost my MPG
Do you have gauges? Boost & Pyrometer? Might give us a clue to whats going on. Thinking there is a KSB sensor on the manifold and a valve on the injection pump that open and closes depending on intake temperature. This will effect the timing advancement of the pump. Possible the sensor isn't working right and sticking the valve closed or open and not giving proper timing? That the thing that so tough about older trucks there is nothing to give clues of what failed because there is no computer to report the issue.

Drop in injectors
Level 1.. I'm running 5x3 on my Edge Comp while towing my RV or daily driving. The only time I turn it down is to gain control on slick ground be it mud or ice. What I'm running for Gauges... ISSPro EV2's. Pretty nice but also pretty pricey...

Consider... They could rebuild it. http://www.kleinbottlecomputer.com/ http://www.kleinbottlecomputer.com/collections/all-services/products/dodge-1 As for dealer I've been informed the dealer is no longer selling new computers everything is re-manufactured.

Try and get the fuel tank above the injection pump for level.

poor air conditioning
Remember the lower the lo side pressure the colder. But Dodge has lo pressure cut out at about 25-30 PSI so I typically charge to 35-40 PSI so it nowhere near the freezing temps and keeps the system sweating not icing. More freon will make it warmer. Don't get carried away though.

If its a air bubble in the fuel system you should see a dip in the pressure as it passes possibly. Park it nose down to see if it changes.
