EGT gauge
I have the Banks quick turbo exhaust housing with the big head waste gate actuator. It opens around 34# and the tuner did the boost fooling. No tuner, no boost fooling.

EGT gauge
Well I made my trip back without the banks and the gauges. I did hook the TC up straight to the gauge and got a reading though way off. The trip was very uneventful and the truck ran just fine. I missed the extra HP the banks provided, but with the rv 275's I had sufficient power for the mountains. Just drove a little slower and kept my foot out of it on the steeper grades. I did get me some new gauges but did not get to install them before leaving.

We work on 1.5 to 2 acre lots. 100 foot increments is about all we use. Keeps it simple. Funny thing is I dont remember seeing your explanation when I replied.

New member, P1698, No bus, no RPM guage, etc. Bad Wiring harness?
If it were me I would work on the electrical gremlins first then on to the fuel system. But it sounds like that is on its last leg also. Low voltage can make these truck do funny things. Get your batteries load tested and your alternator bench tested. Make sure they check AC voltage on it also. Stray AC voltage will wreak havoc with tbe electronics. As far as the no bus and ccd network we are going to need some help from other family members. I dont know enough about them.While I have a BC pump in mine and it works beautifully, they are pricey and if money is an issue there are other routes that are more economical.

I am ready to do it as long as we can stay in that $200 price range.

Fuel lines & pressure
That would explain it.

You need to get your signature filled out so every one knows as much about your truck. Year, make, model, any mods and such.Is the truck running? You say you still get the codes, were they present when you bought it? Oil on the wires by itself should not hurt any thing as long as the joints are tight and sealed.

I did not think the 01's had a tap on top of the filter. I thought they were like my 02 with the screw on cap and drop in filter. Early 01's maybe not?

sigh... long start when hot again...
So CDP, how's she starting now?

Tires,
The 265's came as an option and I believe it was listed that way on the price sticker. I seem to remember choosing it because my 96 had 245's and they always looked small on the truck. It might have been part of the camper package. I will have to dig out my sticker and see what it says.

I never tried a 16% with the trailer. 8 is maybe the most I have ever seen towing.

Tires,
I am running Cooper ATP's in 265 75r, 16 LR E. That is what come on it as an option as I remember. Stock on mine would have been 245's per the sticker in the door frame. I think I will get 50 maybe 55 out of them. We will see. The do ride good on the highway and work good around the job site. I have not driven them in the snow and I dont off road enough to talk about.

16% grade = 16' of rise in 100' feet of road.

I have mine registered for for 10k and the fee is $110. When I renewed it I asked about registering it for 20k and the shot to something over $300. I kept it at 10k. My 5th tag only cost $20 IIRC. - - - Updated - - - I have mine registered for for 10k and the fee is $110. When I renewed it I asked about registering it for 20k and the shot to something over $300.

You are right about biting your wallet. Is your VP the original? I see only 57k in your sig. I would have to agree with CSM on the computer.

I did a quick look on the NCDMV and it said a class c license was good to 26001 pounds. No mention of commercial or not. My class C license has the same weight on it but states non-commercial. I say there is a good chance I was wrong. just did not have time to dig into any deeper.

Possibly a VP 44, your injection pump?
