ECM controlled lift pump
No. The ECM is a ON or OFF state typically. The only time its a modulated state is during cranking which a rapid ON to OFF state at a 50% duty cycle. This gives the reduced fuel pressure for the start up. So the other reason the ECM controls the the lift pump is crash safety. Say you involved in a accident knock out. If the lift pump is wired to just a key ON then the fuel pump could be fuelling a fire that might kill you. Where with the ECM in control the ECM sees no tach signal and shuts down both VP44 and the lift pump for safety. Kind of like the old 12 valves once the engine died the mechanical lift pump stopped too.

Thoughts on Edge EZ vs Superchips Flashpaq vs Other Econo Tuners
I wasn't impressed with the idea of any module being mounted under the hood like Edge EZ, Edge Juice or Quadzilla. Not a weather friendly spot to be.

low down on Bluechip pumps?
Also counter productive ot the MPG fooler. Being the fooler uses temperature to allow the ECM to retard timing.

Why is my right tire wearing on the outside?
Yeah common on 2WD truck but exempt on 4WD trucks.

Center Console Replacement
I'm curious what you going to do with the hollow space inside the box? I can tell you want a console for airbag controls and other things. I'm curious of what you got up your sleeve.

Why is my right tire wearing on the outside?
Ok. I want to jump in here too. I'm also with the feathering of the inside of the tires. Now I did the beer can alignment and roughly measured about 1/8" toe in. Basically I jacked up the front axle and using 2 short drywall screws I barely start them in a thick lug of the tread. So now at a straight forward you measure. Then you rotate the screw to point straight back and measure. I get the 1/8" more. That doesn't seem bad. But the feather seems stronger on the driver side.

low down on Bluechip pumps?
I'm not exactly sure about the Special X pumps but I know the "HotRod" pump are modified internally for advanced timing so you can't use any programmer or module on them. So when they talk about modified pumps with more power and economy typically that means as a standalone. We you start stacking more timing it might become a bad thing. Hence why most will suggest stay with a stock pump that allows you your choice of module or programmer.

My personal view is they are too expensive for what you could buy at CPP Diesel, Vulcan Performance (Industrial Injection) or even DAP (Midwest Injection). These three vendors all sell pump right at $1,100 where for the same then with BC its $1,800 with new PSG like the other three vendors.

Driver side door hinge
Start with the body bolts first then the door bolts. Being the body is tougher to do.

Thermostat temp?
Like yesterday I made a run to Ontario, OR for some personal stuff and with my winter front still in and outside air temperatures in the 60's I was starting to pull a nice 19 MPG @ 65 MPH. Coolant was ranging in the 195-197*F.

Airdog quality
Wow! AirDog changed there Water separator design. It was a steel mesh filter...
-
Well, the airdog, once again..
Just for fun I'll pull the hours and miles off the ATV. As for filter I tend to now believe in doubling up on filter more so. Even though the AirDog 150 is a Donaldson 3 Micron and there is a Fleetgurad 10 Micron in the stock can I'm still seeing the Fleetguard filter in the stock can getting dirty. So if the 3 Micron is so good why is it passing debris that the Fleetguard is catching? After 30k miles...

NGK spark plugs for ATV...
Sounds like that carburetor needs looked at . Float are most likely high or a air jet passage is plugged up with gum.

Need help removing rotor 1999 3500
He's right there is a funnel at the end of the tube to help guide the axle shaft back into the carrier/splines. I remember the old days on my 72 Dodge of having to lever or lift the shaft into place.

Thermostat temp?
Any live data tool should display IAT temps. Like my ScanGauge II does this job for me. http://www.scangauge.com

Fuel Gelling with 2-stroke oil
I've got a few of those around here. But then we got a few that actual post up the pour point temps of the fuel too. What shocks me more than anything its like Idaho is on it own planet for diesel fuel and all the other states just don't give a rats about fuel quality.

Rather expensive to get that transmission fixed. Wow!

Blue Chip Diesel FMS Box?
No. Maybe you should pop a pic to show us...
-
Well, the airdog, once again..
So you want me to come up and install the beast for you? I would say do a FASS pump of some sort and mount it up in the bed side of the truck and then talk to Eric @ Vulcan Performance and see about a old school plumbing kit if need be. I'm not sure what FASS has for plumbing anymore. I know this puts a pinch on you but you might as well do it right so this doesn't bite you and also mount it a way that winter cold doesn't get the filters. You should talk to Yankneck about his ideas...

Blue Chip Diesel FMS Box?
I'm not. But I've rode in one truck in Boise that had a Blue Chip box. I was impressed on the power. But once again most people don't think the price for the box and the limitations are worth it. Not exactly what I would want on top of my dash.

Why is my right tire wearing on the outside?
Ummm... Sometimes that isn't all true. Like my truck it now starting to show the feathering on the inside of the tires so I know I've got a mild alignment issues happening. I'll have to look it over and see what's going as well. I'm going to bet is going to be toe related.
