Limited Pedal, VP problem?
I'm thinking I got to find time and address that splice myself, then I know it will eliminate another weak point.

Probably torque management @Me78569

is my vp44 shot
I hope you don't have your lift pump hot wired when you're trying to start, you could probably hotwire it just to bleed the system, but when you're actually starting it you don't want full pressure maybe 6 7 PSI. Really if you have your system blead really well then you can just unplug power to lift pump to start.

The Future of Trucks
Some days I ust want to go back to sleep and eat my cinnamon rolls and be happy not knowing about all the things that are going on in this world. On the other note, I know someone that had the Tesla for the last 3 years, they have about 60k on it now and halfway through second set of tires, other than that they get about 300 + range. They did say it got a little worse than when it was new. There are free charge stations around where we live and they have a Tesla logo on them. That's all I know Edit, oh yeah and the thing is fast not sure on top speed but on takeoffs it's pretty cool

Bosch products are (good or average)
I always thought Bosch was one of the better ones, at least 10-15 years ago haven't bought too many Bosch things recently

01 24v VP44 to VE Swap (info gathering)
I have 8qts in mine with a fast cooler @dripley on one side (driver) and gravity filter on the other(passenger). I filled mine through shift Tower it was much easier for me. It's filled to top side hole of pto cover. I run amsoil 5-30 synchromesh fluid, also had good luck with penzoil, just make sure whatever you use its synchromesh. And yes you can screw things up towing in 6th if you're working it, not only tranny but an engine if you don't have egt guage.

I did my own alignment with tape measure, I'm about 1/6-1/8" tow in. It's pretty easy to do especially with t style steering. It took me 3 tries to get it there, adjust, drive, pull in straight on level surface, measure tread front to back in few spots, when all done have a beer. Worked for me, I even used the beer can to patch few holes, looks and drives way better. This is some Japanese rice beer, cans were definitely made for dodge maybe even out of a dodge but I know why they charge 3.50 a can

I would not tow up hills in 6 gear, unless you're pretty confident you're not hitting things up. Make sure you run at least extra quart of oil in your 6 speed.

I just put a Mopar T Bar style steering on mine, I ended up putting grease zerks in all four joints, one on passenger side was kind of tough to drill through but I got it. Did moog come greasable? I do like the t-bar versus Y bar much better design.

24 Valve ECM overheating?
I would start by eliminating all the AC noise possible and doing the ground mods, damage could be already done but you'll prevent next one from frying, if that's the case.
-
Ground Reference VP44,ECM,PCM,PDC plus TC lock/unlock
I just used what was on the truck already, just made it shorter. Seems to work fine, not sure why you need larger cables it was fine before with same ones being longer. So now that I cut out few feet there and there it's got to be better.

New Tire Size found 235's to 245's
Idk if I'd let them monkeys in my truck, I'd move out of that he'll hole statw and be done.

Can't believe you still have it on

No tach
Do you have any codes. I just tried putting in a different ECM program to my truck VIN number and I'm having same issues Tech will only work for a while and then drops out. I have a 1698 code, no communication with pcm. But if I put my other ECM in it works fine again. I know this doesn't help you a lot but just my

HAPPY FIREWORKS
You guys are boaring, people that blow their limbs off with thermite or whatever it is they use to shoot with a rifle and a car or a barn goes flying through the air, yeah that's my kind of crowd. You should be used to my dumb jokes by now but maybe not. What was funny is we went to a party in a fancy neighborhood where there are perfect lawns etc and after about 9pm place looked like garbage truck went through with the gate open and trash just dumping out. Very few people including me and a friend that I came there with were picking up trash rest just left or went back in the hoise like they don't leave there. Now that was sad to see. Non of them naighbors cared for each other that much, at least from what I've seen. And to be honest I know more rednecks that care for others more then people who leave if fancy places, once again just my experience. They just a bit on a wild side and enjoy leaving.

AMERICA... FREDOM... HE'LL YEAH BLOW THIS SH.T UP HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS This place wouldn't be what it is without the rednecks and Clint Eastwood IDK, ignore this post

2010 6.7 Running Hot
If it's boiling, it's ether really really hot or you may be getting exhaust gases in your cooling system. What mix of antifreeze/water do you use and what pressure on radiator cap. I'm just guessing here, maybe verify temp with a Lazer thermometer in few spots too. And your truck should have an electronically controlled fan, maybe a sensor isn't functioning properly and fan is not fully on.

ABS Module Repair
My ABS brake light came on after I greased my front wheel bearings. Too much grease covers the tone ring and sensors fault out. What are the chances someone greased your front bearings. They are not intended to be greased but some people do to extend the life.

Poor gas mileage
Make sure it's ashless, most run supertec https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Tech-TC-W3-Outboard-2-Cycle-Oil-1-Gallon/16795065

No traction on the boat ramp! What!?!
I think it has more to do with tread design and compound it's made out of and of course air pressure. Wider tires generally have larger gaps between the lugs. So if a tire is a foot wide you may only have 6-8" on the ground, but get in mud or deep snow and you're back to having a foot wide tire. And if the lugs are siped that makes a world of difference. The only drawbacks I see to larger tires are, crappier mpg and more wear and tear.

Everyone post a picture of your truck!
That's what I thought about doing with the filter minder too instead of drilling a hole in bhaf every time @Mopar1973Man My doors are a little better but my rockers and cab corners well and fenders are going bad, one day it just happened bam and there is a hole. Clean on the under side, rotting inside out. I sprayed engine oil everywhere I could when I first got the truck and few times since it helps to slow it down but a bit to late.

What is the "BEST" engine oil & filter to use and why?
You know I meant to say flip flops not sandles my bad, I know this caused a bit of confusion but oh well I got a laugh out of it

I'd rather have faded paint then holes

They usually wear sandals

What is the "BEST" engine oil & filter to use and why?
That's why I just keep it to myself anymore, no reason to waste effort on someone that doesn't care. I put in my and move on. Take what you need and leave the rest. And if someone wants to know more then I'll talk more. I try not to miss lead anyone with my information and hope that people who actually care do enough of their own research.
