Still deciding whether to pick up a cheap tablet as well.... decisions decisions

4wd System Refresh np241DHD rebuild.
Never seen a shim in the two I've had open. When you say forward... you mean push the shaft indo the carrier correct? Could it be because the axle was from a 3500? Not sure what the differences are. If you don't want to mess with shims you could always take a bit of material off the face of the collar.

Factory keyless entry
I've though about it, but for the price of the aftermarket system I couldn't justify trying to make the factory one work. You can pick up an aftermarket one for 25 bucks and wire it in yourself. I do understand wanting the factory one though.

So the collar physically won't push far enough to disengage? Only way that could happen is if the two shaft surfaces have worn each other down.

Fuel pressure test port
You shouldn't be testing it often though.... Unless you bought POS gauges

Thanks! I got it from a buddy but it doesn't have a brand on it. Looks just like this one though http://www.amazon.com/Pypes-Exhaust-EVT406-Polished-Stainless/dp/B00CIMABMU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456182392&sr=8-1&keywords=4-6in+exhaust+tip Thanks! PITA to build, but I really like the extra protection it provides the front end.

Fuel pressure test port
You could unhook the full time gauge and use that port to test.

What gets your adrenaline flowing?
Dad's friend took his mom out for a plane ride on mothers day.... engine dropped a valve over some pretty rough terrain, but he was able to nosedive it and get enough speed to land it on a random dirt road in BFE. I had to go help take the plane apart and get it back to the hangar. Sooooo I don't like to fly much

Gauge setup
That's why I've got both. The Quad does data logging which I really like too.

Grease guns
When you're likely pushing over 600hp.... it's a good idea to have lots of tools. RUN IT ON THE EDGE OF DESTROYING ITSELF. That's how I keep mine scared straight
-
Fuel pressure test port
Most would cut the line about a foot before the VP and put a T in. From there you can test. Most would prefer a full time gauge though, not just a test port.

Gauge setup
I'm not a big fan of that either... I'm not too worried about the analog gauges but more where to mount the phone and possibly a new tablet. That's near where mine is too! I was going to remove it but it makes clearing those 2 pesky codes easier than busting out the smarty. Nice setup! I like to keep mine in pods though. Really trying to find a spot for the phone / tablet though. Thanks! I just want it in a decent spot that doesn't block too much view. I'd like to try a tablet because they're easier to read but not sure how yet.

Grease guns
When I'm at school I like to have one.... It's come in handy helping friends change U joints and such

Gauge setup
Reflection on the camera... dang thing. I've got the three on the pillar, my phone suction cupped to the windshield, drive pressure by my left knee, one on the steering column and a scangauge II by the ash tray. I think I need more cab! I do wish they made a dual steering pod like the 3rd gen's have.

Correct they are universal. Here's a list. I bought the baby one to keep in the truck http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=grease+gun

Guess What I'm doing this weekend?
Still seems really low, especially since CR motors are supposed to have more compression than the SO 24v. I way 400+ on all cyl @170K or so. If it doesn't have blowby though run it and don't worry

Same as CSM. I keep one in the toolbox

Hydroboost/power steering
I think I could set a frying pan on mine and cook some eggs. Summer project...

Hydroboost/power steering
There's a screen in the pump if you want to pull it apart and see if it's plugged. Mine are always screaming hot as well. @Mopar1973Man How hot do yours get??

Guess What I'm doing this weekend?
I highly doubt his engine was hot, considering the body of the injector was cracked. If he drove it there that wasn't a good idea either.... If he had said 350psi I could live with that. But being 100psi down across the board isn't good. To me that would mean either something wasn't sealed when testing or the truck would have quite a bit of blowby.
