Grounds and electrical stuff.
You mean like this or a seperate charge wire from the alternator? I woul almost think this wire does that, but this is from Sparky the Chicken's mind.

96’ Ram interior falling apart.
Thats how I found. I probably looked on and off for near 3 years before I stumbled across the ones I got.

Wired straight to battery, no fuse. The fuse does not protect the alternator any way. But I would have to to defer to electrically smarter than I to explain.

96’ Ram interior falling apart.
I would not have bought either of those used. Just a short matter of time before they break again unless some history on them. Some of the other stuff might still be in a junk yard somewhere. Who knows. Going to be doing some junk yard searching myself pretty soon. I will keep an out if your thinking of going that way.

Its only money. I have done my dash and the instrument bezel from LMC truck. Spent $500 on those two parts alone.

Hard to start
The return into the fuel neck is above everything but maybe the cylinder head return line. Thats on level ground though. My thoughts any way. Both my return lines go to the basket. Both of them are above the fuel pick up by about 1/3rd tank, IIRC. On long road trips I run my tank down to 2 or 3 gallons with no cange in performance. So either the AD is removing the air as advertised or the return fuel splashing is not foaming that bad. Now this is in the in tank pump basket and not the stocker. Two differant animals.

The Future of Trucks
It would be strange to go to a race, drag or whatever, and only hear an electric motors whine.

Seat upgrades
I got luck and found the wholemfront row on CL for 125 bucks. No holes in the upholstry but the drivers seat cushion has the left smashed a little.

Seat upgrades
Genos has a new and improved seat cushion. Thinking about one my self. They also have a cover pretty reasonable. I think it is a replacement but does not match the original. There are some original clothe ones out there, they are pricey in opinion at near $190.

Well, bad news post w-t mod.
Mine runs to the drivers bat-. That one is factory but it would appear I put a new ring terminal on it some time in the past. But it never ran to the TPS sensor. The green one I added. The other one is my AD ground.

Did see a pic for the wire you speak of.

Well, bad news post w-t mod.
That odd wire sounds lome someone added aground to the TPS. I have read about folks doing that trying cure similar problems a good while back. A lot of those issues were most likely from to much AC as was the noise isolator for the tranny. A simple test as @Mopar1973Man mentions above would help to diagnose it.

Try parking it nose down and see if it stops.

Hard to start
I have run mine for over 7 years with both returns and the pick up in the basket with out issue. Always been curuious what the fuel temp is at VP when tank gets low. Just not curious enough to do anything about it.

Dinner with the Chicken Man
East meets west. It was definitely a good meal with friends you never met. I cant believe something on the job to did not get between this happening. It was a good meeting with good folks. Thanks for the dinner Dan, you and Jennifer enjoy the rest of your trip and have a safe journey home. One day I will make out west myself.

Grounds and electrical stuff.
I know the tape I pulled off of mine is not regular electrical tape. I used some super sticky electrical tape on mine and it does not like the under hood temps. I would have a mind to try that stuff you found. Sounds like it might be better suited for the job. Of course I do not know that personally and if they want 20 bucks a roll I might not be interested.

3rd or 4th Gen upgraded steering linkage? SAFETY RECALL (page two))
I seem to remember some one posting this up in another thread but that included a few other brand names that were all made in China. Cant remember were it is.

Grounds and electrical stuff.
Will the solder melt on the tip of the iron? You only need about 400* to melt it, IIRC. A plumbers torch deep in the engine bay is not a good thing. The pencil torch puts out the same type of flame only much smaller. Still have to be careful where you point it.
-
Hard to start
You need to point the nose downhill and see what happens. Get the fuel tank higher than the engine. Mine is doing on and off in any position. Mostly been parking level where am at these days.

I dont know about the wattage you need but once you see the solder flow you will be surprised how easy it is to do. Get you some shrink wrap with adhesive like @Tractorman mention for the permanent joint you will do. Good insurance.
