Where is the oil drain plug on this Cummins?
You have to use a pump and pump it out of dip stick tube like some boats, lol just kidding. That's weird.

Looking for experience with fuel lines and PSI
If it worked before I'd leave it alone, unless you're planning on making big power. As long as you didn't have 1/4 or 1/3 tank issues where if you slammed breaks or took off to fast and lost pressure, you should be fine. Factory basket is reduced to 1/4 id, 3/8 is way better. Or you can modify your basket to all 1/2 or buy one already done. You will have a slight flactuation in psi but should be minimal for DD. It's WOT is where it may drop more.

Np241hd fluid
From what I heard, if you have an auto then run what's in the tranny. If you got a stick then any auto tranny fluid that is compatable with owners manual. Reason for tranny fluid is, if a seal goes bad between tcase and tranny and if fluid mixes it won't cause any problems. At least that's what local rebuilder told me. I'm running amsoil signature atf in mine.

Wheel question
I have wheels of a 2012 on mine, they fit fine. Reuse your lug nuts, 2012 are different.

2002 Dodge Transmission issues
I would suggest driving the truck yourself before you commit to it. Sounds like you've had a few different trucks before, you should be able to tell if there is anything majorly going on with it. If it has a built tranny, chances are it's been molested in other ways. Personally I would check every inch of the truck before buying it if I liked it. Little changes in RPM might be torque converter locking and unlocking. Bring a good multimeter with you and check for AC voltage at alternator. If it has 410 gears that would explain high RPM, but it would be a pulling Mule. I have 355 in mine and seems to work good all around, but I don't generally pull more than 10k. Good luck.

I need my music! How is best way in todays world

Wheel bearing failure.
I drilled and tapped mine and put a grease zerk in behind calipers, put about 15 pumps in while turning it. Few months later my abs came on, so I pulled ABS sensors out and used the vacuum cleaner with a small hose attached to it spawn the bearing and vacuumed extra greaes out of the tone ring. It worked for a few weeks then light came back on I think I over greased them. Haven't had time to clean them again. I might pump more grease in with ABS sensor out and try to force old stuff out of that hole and then go back with a vacuum and get rid of extra grease.

I need my music! How is best way in todays world
I'm in the same boat looking for music, but I did finally get a cd/usb player from best buy, and reason why best buy is it was on sale for same price as online and I could take it back if something was wrong with it. It reads most of cd formats has capabilities for xm/sirus/ihaert,etc. And hands free blue tooth for calling, works great when truck is not running, when it does run you have to speak up. I mainly use usb port and have different music in different folders so it's easier to find. I'll try and remember to take a picture of it when I get home. Really I can't believe I went this long without one. I was going to hack my Dash and put a double din but decided not to. I'm glad I didn't do it.

Wheel question
I believe they might use the hub to center and lug nuts are flat. Or maybe it's ford I'm thinking of.

Wheel bearing failure.
That sucks, did you have any signs aside from your abs being on. Grouling when taking off ramps maybe. On the bright side you'll get new bearings and have no ecl It would be nice if you get time to take old wheel bearing apart and see the cause of failure, if it's not enough lubrication or just simply wore out.

2 inch leveling kit
To do the lift right, you need longer control arms, shocks, adjustable track bar, and other things that are adjustable, preferably longer Springs and not blocks, if you go high enough custom driveshaft, crossover steering etc, just not worth it in long run unless it's a show truck, or you have unlimited money supply. Not for DD/towing. Imo.

Few years back my front bearings were starting to growl a little, at least sounded like to me. That's when I greased them and seems good so far.

Hopefully you get better mpg's and start playing with some tunes. They say when vp's wear out mpg drops. My last tank playing with different tunes got me 15.4 hopefully just heavy foot...

Quadzilla Adrenaline V2 Testing
@xxTJRocksxx s5,s6 I moved quad BT slightly under hood and it seems to be working. I did notice last time it happened, it seems like it wants to freeze up and not communicate if I change from tune to tune too often. And then it would just say connection lost with device, but how can a connection be lost if I can pair and unpair at any time, just feels like it glitches out and freezes up. We'll see what happens since I moved it it's working. @Carbur8tr yes my stereo has a Bluetooth for phone. But the phone I'm using for quad is not paired with it and it doesn't even have a SIM card in it, it's deactivated. But I see your point how it could still mess with the signal.

How often do you even use wire tap now with v2 stuff, I personally realy have no need for it anymore, maybe just to screw around. Especially if you're going for mpg. With your bigger injectors and hybrid you may not need to tap it at all.

Quadzilla V2 Custom Tunes
@Quadzilla Power I will double check, thanks. Pretty sure I updated it to most recent. Never know though. Any ideas why my quad BT loses conection sometimes, just says device conection lost or something like that.

Quadzilla Adrenaline V2 Testing
Everything is spotless and I always use Dielectric grease, funny thing is I can pair and unpair with a device at any time so signal is getting through, but something fishy going on. I put it in a slightly different place under the hood see if it makes a difference

100hp 7x.009 injectors EXHAUST POP?
I wish we had places like that around here, they want 15-20 just to pop test them. I can probably build something for that much to pop test.

My quad BT then losing connection at random tryed different devices just does not want to connect, seems to work for a while then just says cannot connect, any ideas. It's under the hood with the quad box maybe that's why. It says device connection lost.
