In tank Lift pump Module
I dont want mine in the tank. If you problem with if off the tank comes or raise the bed. I lost my AD pump recently and it is a 1 hour job to replace with hiccups.

Hankook ATm
I am still on 265's and going to stay there. I just dont tow enough to warrant the 245's. And I can still get 19.5 to 20 mpg on the interstae. I am on my 3rd set of Cooper ATP's. I averaged 63k on the first 2 sets, but for some reason I am in the high 70's on this set and will go somewhere between 80 and 85k. I have run pressure lower on this set, 55 in front and 45 to 50 in the rear. I have also run alot highway miles the past 1.5 years. I know that helps. The Coopers have served me well and I will stick with them. They are probably right at $950 at Discount Tire and includes free replacement if I destroy one for what ever reason no matter the wear on the tire. Thats is about $22 of the cost per tire. They have honored that warranty any time I have destroyed the tire. Destroyed one in Iowa and sis not bring it back with and still honored the warranty.

Trouble Starting Engine - HELP
I doubt it. Just bump the starter, no engine start, then listen for pump running. Then you will know. I did have 2 pumps on mine many years back. I put a booster pump on the frame rail when the POS in tank pump got weak. It worked fine but I dont know anyone else who ever did it or will admit to it anyway. Thats why I doubt you have both, but it is pissibke.

Best batteries for our trucks
Until I did wt's ground mod my batterys alway were a tad moist on top as in the pics. Since then they have remained dry as a bone. And the only thing on my terminals is a touch of rust on the bolt heads.

Bad ECM or wrong vp44??
My understanding is the HO has problems on an SO motor. But others here no more than I on that issue. What troubles codes are you seeing?

Trouble Starting Engine - HELP
My fuel basket is like the one @Mopar1973Man shows in the picture, with the in tank lift pump. If you have never had that modifacation yours is maybe much different. My pick up is as shown in Mikes picture except that it is 3/8". I figure that is why I see a 4# drop in mine at wot. I personallay dont see that one is alot better than the other except for the size difference. Had I known a wee bit more when I did mine I would have used 1/2" for my pick up. If after you put more fuel in and problem goes away at least you know where the problem lies.

Very interesting discussion gentlemen. It is good to see two folks of differing opinions have a sane discussion. Now if we could just get congress the learn that ability they they might be able to get something done for the country.

Spicer ball joints
We moved into our current house 27 years ago. I had to back to work and told the wife to buy a refridgerator. She called me and had bought one. $1200, I liked to had a heart attack. But we replaced that ice box about 5 years ago. Not because it quit doing its job, it was just beat to snot. Every thing worked fine. Never expected that longevity. I finally had to suck up to the wife and compliment her on the purchase.

Yes. We will tag @Mopar1973Man and get him or some one he delegates it to to help. This is beyond my paygrade.

A BHAF muffler. Who da thunk. Is the end inside the filter open?

Spicer ball joints
I just bought a new SKF carrier bearing for a drive shaft rebuild. Made in China. I have 3 new old stock u joints, sealed just like the originals. The boxes have stickers them showing who they were shipped to. 2 boxes have a 2001 ship date and one has 2003 ship date. Hope the boxes dont lie. The Spicer ball joints from Denny's Drive shafts that I saw, and @Me78569 used are not sealed and I could never believe they are the same as oe. That alone turned me off to them. My head is starting to hurt now and I give up.

Bought the red Earhquake gun from HF. What little I have used has been great. Did a Discount Tire a couple years back and they used the same ones which surprised a lttle. But it make me feel a bit better about the purchase

I just added a few drops of freshener to mine.

Low power
Had same issues with my MAP dropping out. Mine was a bad splice in a wire that you should not have unless someone got cut happy on your wiring harness. A bad sensor will do the same thing. Like @Me78569 says check it for trouble codes before you just throw a sensor at it.
