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.

Filling oil filter when changing oil?
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.

2 stroke oil and fuel pressure
That center sticker sucks. My truck likes the bio diesel. I got my trucks best mileage on 3 different occasions running bio mass diesel. That was how the pump was labeled 4 or so years ago either bio diesel or bio mass diesel. I got 22.4 mpg out of that sruff running 70 mph down the interstate. I repeated that twice from the same station out in Chattanooga Tenn. And one more time out of Nashville Tenn. Both places labeled bio mass diesel. Sadly I dont see that stuff labeled like that any more and those new labels, you just dont know what your getting. Mine likes any of it but I would like to know what I am running. Bio diesel at 5% or more ismbettermthan 2 stroke. But the pumps dont have to be labeled 5% or less so you dont really know if you are getting it. The Loves Travel center I built had a seperate bio tank and can mix it at whatever quantity the want. And they receive 50 cents agallon subsidy of your tax dollars to sell it.
