Death wobble for the 1st time ever in a 2nd Gen Cummins
I got my Dodge into Les Schwab because my friend works there doing alignments. With the lower adjustable control arms set at 19.5" center to center, my caster is at 3.6° positive caster, my toe and camber were right on. We did tighten up the bolts first that hold the adjustable track bar upper mount to the left frame rail. That was loose which caused my death wobble.

Death wobble for the 1st time ever in a 2nd Gen Cummins
The adjustable track bar is brand-new also, as I installed it not very long ago. I usually get a 2nd person to move the steering wheel back and forth for me so I can check for any free/excessive movement. I've got an appointment with Les Schwab this coming Friday afternoon for an alignment.

Death wobble for the 1st time ever in a 2nd Gen Cummins
I just installed brand-new Bilstein 5100 shocks on all corners, and a new set of adjustable control arms. There's no play in any of the newer ball joints. I don't see any play in the crossover steering heim joints. The tires are load range E that were on my nephew's brand-new 2024 Laramie Cummins with only 15k miles on it. My next task will be getting it aligned for toe-in and caster adjustments.

Flashing WTS light
Damn that sucks! Sorry to hear ACS is dragging their feet on customer service and a fair turnaround time to get you your ECM back to you.

Mysterious Knock on VP44 Truck – Need Help! No one can figure this out!
It definitely sounds like a ignition timing issue to me as well. Do you know if the ECM still has an existing tune - Smarty, Quadzilla, etc., that might have introduced timing mods other than the stock ignition timing? If the ECM wasn't returned to the stock tune, it might have too aggressive of ignition timing programmed into it, causing the knock issue.

Trans Crossmember bolts
I think the crossmember flange head bolts 15mm in socket size are like M10 and about 1-1/2" long. The nuts are flange style nuts and I think they are 18mm in size.

Death wobble for the 1st time ever in a 2nd Gen Cummins
A few months ago I experienced death wobble in my 01 Cummins 4wd at 60 mph, and it was violent and scary. It was the very first time I've personally had it happen to me. I know my shocks look like older OEM style shocks, so I just got in a new set of Bilstein 5100 shocks to put on it, and I got a new set of adjustable control arms so I can adjust them to get some positive caster in the front end. My ball joints were replaced by the previous owner who I got the truck from, and they still are tight with no play in them. After I install the new shocks, control arms, new heater and evaporator cores, I'll get an alignment done on it.

Thermostat... just a good one
I agree with Moparman, in that if you live where it gets cold with snow and ice, then the 200 degree + thermostat is the best way to go. I installed a 205 degree Mishimoto t-stat in my 2001, and it made it warmer. My heater core doesn't put out enough heat, so I'll be installing a new heater core here shortly. My AC blows cold, but I'm installing a new evaporator core at the same time since they take the brunt of all the dirt and crap that blows in from the cowl.

75 Cheyenne factory SWB 4x4
I just got this 75 Chevy Cheyenne SWB 4x4 from a friend of mine for $3,500. He just put a brand-new set of $1,400 35x12.5R15 Mastercraft Courser MXT tires on a set of $900 new Black aluminum 15x10 wheels. It has a modified SBC with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and a newer 750 Holley 4 bbl carb, and a set of headers. I just got a set of nice Enkei 15x10 wheels for it, since Black wheels don't look right on a grecian bronze and frost white two-tone paint job. It will be getting repainted in those two factory colors.

Transfer case Oil
I have found Royal Purple on sale at my local parts store, and it was cheaper than any of the other name brands of oil, so I went with the RP.

You could use some synthetic ATF+4 like Royal Purple or Valvoline.

47RE kicking out of O/D
I bet both bands are too loose now after 10 years. For a couple hours of time, and a trans filter and some ATF, it would be a simple thing to adjust them to see if it helps your issue.
