Mystery switch sets p0122
I'm scratching my head... Monitor & Set Conditions Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) voltage is monitored when engine is running. DTC may be stored if low voltage is detected on APPS signal circuit or low voltage is detected between Engine Control Module (ECM) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Possible Causes 5-volt Supply At APPS Shorted To ECM Sensor Ground APPS Signal Circuit Shorted To ECM Sensor Ground 5-volt Supply To Ground APPS Signal Circuit Shorted To Ground APPS Signal Circuit Open To ECM PCM (APPS) Short To ECM Sensor Ground ECM (APPS) To PCM (APPS) Circuit Shorted ECM (APPS) To PCM (APPS) Circuit Open Short To ECM Sensor Ground Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) Engine Control Module Powertrain Control Module

Most miles on factory original VP injection pump?
Actually it wasn't JAG1 but TFaoro with the pump issues.

what are the proper step by step to increase Hp
If it was me I would see about upgrading to HX35W turbo (12cm2 exhaust housing) and jump away from the HY35W turbo (9cm2 exhaust housing). I typically can pull 6-7% grades on the Edge Comp set to 5x3, 3" exhaust (mufflered), BHAF, with 25-30 PSI of boost and be right under 1,200*F with a 8,000 pound trailer behind me.

Lift pump fail
With the AirDog 150 is just mesh filter before the pump. But in your case you would have to run a actual fuel filter before the pump to protect the pump from eating itself. That kind of wear is from debris (fine) against the shaft and seal. Even diesel fuel is a mild lubricant and with 2 cycle oil should be no problems. So that leads me back debris issues.

gearing advice
Again... 3.55 gears here with 235/85 R16 tires (31 inch) and towing is awesome good power and pulling grades. 37" tires your going to need the 4.10's for sure. Also highly suggest the exhaust brake as well as the 3rd gen brake upgrade because of the leverage value those huge 37's put on the brakes.

Blackstone lab/ oil reports
Like myself I clear 30k miles a year so it gets 3-4 oil changes a year or one every 3 month roughly.

Blackstone lab/ oil reports
This year I won't have all the slow rolling back woods as much. As a matter of fact I've got the trailer hitched up this morning and heading to a log yard in New Meadows, Idaho to get a load of Red Fir for $100 a cord. So all my firewood hauling this year will be highway running.

Pick your brain
Like Pepsi71Ocean taught me a while back its possible to fool sensors and create problems too. Like him he was paranoid of hot shutdowns on the VP44 so he used a fan to cool the VP44 all the time. What would happen is the truck will start up and run backwards. So it's possible with the Smarty and IAT fooler or both is causing your issues. Like I said try dropping the IAT and then try it again without the Smarty.

removing fuel sending unit
From the FMCSA web site... http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/393.67 (4) Drains and bottom fittings. (i) Drains or other bottom fittings must not extend more than three-fourths of an inch below the lowest part of the fuel tank or sump. (ii) Drains or other bottom fittings must be protected against damage from impact. (iii) If a fuel tank has drains the drain fittings must permit substantially complete drainage of the tank. (iv) Drains or other bottom fittings must be installed in a flange or spud designed to accommodate it. (5) Fuel withdrawal fittings. Except for diesel fuel tanks, the fittings through which fuel is withdrawn from a fuel tank must be located above the normal level of fuel in the tank when the tank is full. So I guess it legal if I'm reading that right. Here is a bit more I found... https://www.transferflow.com/regulations

No. The overflow valve will continue to flow fuel as long as supplied fuel pressure is above 14 PSI.

Doesn't speak to good about BlueChip to have 2 pumps fail in a month.

Most miles on factory original VP injection pump?
http://forum.mopar1973man.com/index.php?app=garage&do=item_list&search_term=1794&search_field=member_id&search_method=exact 184k miles and 5 pumps. That's only 36,800 miles per pump. These were all weak point through the REVisions of the VP44 from the start to the end which is 027. I don't know of any other changes. I'm sure revisions started in the release of the VP44.

Cruise Control
Dripley the last I knew was having personal issues and would come back when he was ready. My best guess would be to ohm out the wiring for the cruise control. DANGER! WARNING! Be careful about suppling voltage to the air bag module you might trip it off. So I suggest you unhook the batteries and wait 15 minutes and then unplug the air bag module. Then you can test against the cruise control buttons. Each one should have a different resistance.

grandpa's truck what to do
About right it's a boat anchor. It the new Ford 6.4L diesel. I've worked around a few of those and absolutely hate them. Just un-real the amount of BS in the way you have to remove to just find a valve cover or a head. This is why I love looking back at the past and holding tight to my 24 valve 2nd Gen truck because I know it works and its simple to repair. This is a good reason to hold on to your Grandfather 1st gen and leave it unmolested. You won't find them like that any more that's for sure... Kind of like looking back at old school muscle cars and how little was under the hood just engine. Now today there is so much stuff you can't find the top of the engine if you wanted to.

Good Buddy Has A DuraMax......
So he's no better. Just our VP44 pumps cost less than his 8 injectors.

Donations have to be done from the Full site version. At the top of the navigation bar will be Donation Button. Posting pictures also have to be done from the full site version. If the full site version when you posting at the bottom of the post box it will have the "Add Attachment" function. The newer forum software is suppose to have better mobile functions over my current version. I'm just waiting for Beta test and the first version to go by.

I really do love old stock trucks that are unmolested. Looking back at a simpler time versus today where you can hardly find a engine under all the tubes, wiring and BS. Ford 6.4L Cummins 6.7L
