Tie rod rubbing front diff cover?
What year is your truck? That's about what mine looked like too.

Tie rod rubbing front diff cover?
Turned at full lock to the left, my tie rod would hit the diff cover. I am guessing that's what the OP was talking about, but I've been wrong before! If the track bar hits, it usually hits near the top left of the cover. OP, if you could post a picture that would help us help you.

I believe he's talking about the steering linkage?? Maybe I read it wrong though.

Tie rod rubbing front diff cover?
Mine did this as well at full lock. Not sure if it's supposed to be that way or not, but I upgraded to the 09+ steering style. Some other guys should jump in and tell you what theirs looked like.

Teardown and Rebuild
The professor was awesome! Very smart lawyer who owns his own law firm. The classes were very interesting as well. He put dumb people in their place when they made comments like "Prisoners should be allowed to vote." BUT the essays were horrible and the final was extremely long with multiple pages of writing and over 50 questions.

P0113/P0382 Truck Won't Start IAT and Heater Grid Codes
Okay, given those codes (IAT sensor voltage high) and (intake air heater relay) you could have a couple issues. I'd start with applying dielectric grease to the IAT sensor plug in, and unplugging and plugging it in a couple times. Also check the wires to make sure nothing looks cut or smashed. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/59-obdii-error-codes-cummins/147-p0113-intake-air-temperature-sensor-voltage-too-high As for the grid heater relay, check the wires on the relays themselves. Sometimes the little guys will pop off if bumped wrong. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/59-obdii-error-codes-cummins/183-p0382-intake-air-heater-relay-2-control-circuit Go through both links and do as much testing as you can!

Worst final.... Constitutional Law

Teardown and Rebuild
Yes it does! It's also dipping down when I downshift, so likely that mount is blown out. I just finished up finals yesterday and will be home to check it out today or tomorrow. Also just rolled over to 10k. Time for an oil change... switching to synthetic!

Teardown and Rebuild
Okay so it does sit "up" compared to the passenger side. Thanks! It seemed fine when I was under there this past weekend, but I'll have to get under there and really check the bolts.
-
Teardown and Rebuild
Well it's not full throttle (only around 35psi of boost in the video) and it's really bad just letting off the clutch from a stop. The mount looked fine when I put it back together?? Maybe a bolt fell out or something. Thanks guys! Can someone get me that picture though? I'd like to make sure the engine is seated down in the mounts.

Teardown and Rebuild
Sad part is that's not even full throttle with just the smarty. It's worse when taking off from a stop. In the lower gears it's moving around an inch and a half.

Teardown and Rebuild
This looks like too much movement to me. Can someone take a picture of their engine mount where it attaches to the frame for me (Drivers side)? The nut on mine looks to be sitting to high....

Winter is coming
Cars everywhere this morning on the side of the road where they had slid off. Much of the roads hadn't been plowed, so I'm betting a bunch got sucked to the side when they went out of the tracks. I just hung out behind the 18 wheelers. Not worried about them sliding around much when they all have chains on!

About 6" or more up in Denver. Where you moving to??

When I get more air into it. Still figuring out WOT issue. I mean we could go slide around I25 if you're up for it

18.9mpg after 400 miles. 300 highway 100 city. Those who say you can't get good mileage with huge injectors are WRONG!

Twin Turbo Setup
For your goals there's no need for a new secondary. Yes there's better out there, but it's going work just fine for your goals. I wouldn't even second guess using the hx35.

P0113/P0382 Truck Won't Start IAT and Heater Grid Codes
If you've had the code you can bet money the CPS is dead. If you've got one that's where I'd start.

Teardown and Rebuild
The fuel is there. Making 650 on a VP happens all the time. For me it's a matter of getting the air in there without too much back pressure robbing power. I've got tight housings to keep the spool up quick and smoke to a minimum. I'm not worried about the bearings. They're stock and they'll last just fine. It's not like I drive around with it to the floor full time.... other than tuning the turbos the TST gets flipped on maybe once a week. If it's cold even less or it'll blow the tires off. Reverse level, air compressor style haha! Picked this up for my dad on Thursday. 4 cylinder 2 stage for cheap! Couldn't pass it up.

Setting HX35 wastegate actuator
As long as you have full travel from the wastegate I don't see why there would be an issue. Most just use an elbow because it's 10x easier than trying to adjust the rod.

Excessive rear tire wear
I was saying that in the assumption that there is a reason behind the numbers. You could be and are likely correct about the marketing scheme. Thank you for pointing that out
-
Excessive rear tire wear
I wouldn't say it's useless. It's what the truck is actually made to handle with an appropriate factor of safety. CAN it handle more? Of course! They have to build them stronger than they rate them, but I'd say staying around the gvwr isn't a bad idea. At that point get a trailer haha! The worst underrating is the F450 though.... They had to keep it low to keep it low to "compare" it to the ram 3500.

intercooler constant tension clamps
If you don't know you haven't torn it apart enough! I don't think it matters which one you use. I have both on my truck and neither have blown off @70psi.
-
Excessive rear tire wear
Not really accurate though because I do a lot of turning in tight parking spaces, so it wears the edges a bit. I also rotate my tires every 3500-4K. I can measure though if I remember. BTW I was expecting at least something about the weight comment
