Maybe LMC?

High amp alternator
I think for 98s you have to call them, might not be on website. Sounds like something else is wrong though.

What color is your truck?
Dark Garnett Red Pearl(burgandy). It was rust free and what what I could afford.

I vote 75s, that way you can drive with your tuner off if you want and not black out the roadway.

17” 3rd Gen Wheels
I would have get wheel spacers/adapters to run the 18s thought because of my rear axle hubs.

17” 3rd Gen Wheels
Preparing for 3rd gen brakes come nice weather. Looking for 17” 3rd gen wheels on craigslist now, debating steel vs aluminum. Either way, I’ll get them powder coated black. I like the look of the aluminum ones but steelies are cheap. Any downside to running the steels for now? No super heavy towing, mostly loading my 8’ bed with firewood and an occasional light trailer.

4x4 won’t work! Help
There are plastic vacuum lines running by the cowl. Start tracing them. There is a rubber 90 on the driver's side cowl that goes down to the vacuum pump that is known to dry rot.

Did that set come with all the little cables too?

Ball Joints?
I don't have many miles on them, less than 10k so I can't speak to longevity. I had issues with the lower ball joint nut coming loose. I torqued it to spec on jacks, it loosened. Then torqued it on the ground, it loosened again. Then I drilled it, put a castle nut and pin on it. .

Power door locks
Yes. The panel is brittle, best to pry a little and cut the little clips. Pry too much and the panel can break before the retainers/clips pull out. clipsandfasteners.com has them

Are you running those extra filters between the pump at the crank and the oem filter?

Stant or Gates Thermostat, any issues
Oem cummins is more consistent but any will work. My old cummins 180 was pretty steady no matter what. The 190 and 200 stants I have run swing 10-15 degrees consistantly.

Rear Axle ABS wheel speed sensor: brands
Either airtex/wells or standard motor is the oem manufacturer. Look at the pictures on rockauto, one of them should should have a chrysler emblem on it.

Injectors
Yes, that was my experience.

Injectors
47re or nv4500/5600? Thats the limiting factor. A stock 47re can’t handle rv275s and edge ez or larger injectors. I ran 60hp injectors on a stock tranny it was fine. Then added the EZ, slipped my torque converter twice and that was it.

Joining the 300K plus mile club
May have to j hook the HY35 to get more boost. https://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/p-11698-bd-turbo-x-hook-01-02-59l-cummins-auto-trans.aspx?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhPPvwbCH2AIVwrgbCh1ZuQhxEAQYASABEgLHi_D_BwE

Joining the 300K plus mile club
With injectors and a box, you may want to swap the hy35 for an hx35. HY35 can’t keep up on the “top end”. I’m back to an RV275 size injector and 65hp box, great set up.

No pulling power
Trailer up to par? Last time I towed one of the tires had a bad belt and my truck was sluggish hooked up, not to mention bumpy.

Tires
Hmm 285s(33s) rev too much with 4.10s? That should put your gear ratio around 3.73. i would think 33s would be optimal.

Tires
What gear ratio do you have? 3.55s or 4.10s?
