Dirty turbo vane and what to do about it.
@IBMobile put together a list of different BHAFs in this article. I went with the WIX 46637 when I replaced mine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CSD3QS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm not sure what the quality of the FRAM filters are. I would suggest going to a BHAF.

Dirty turbo vane and what to do about it.
Mine looks similar but its more of an oily film not so much dirt. I am also starting to get some movement out of it. I figure its time to either replace it with a something better or rebuild it.

Quadzilla adrenaline for mpg's is it worth it?
Once in awhile I will have a connection issue where it wont connect no matter what I do or it will connect but it will freeze while updating. I turn the key off and back on again then its fine. It only seems to do this when I have the battery disconnected for a while. Most other times it will connect right away or if it fails to connect I go into the menu and click connect to Adrenaline. Once connected it stays connected. I would call and talk to @Quadzilla Power because you shouldn't be having those problems, especially after paying $600.

Glue remover
I used Goo Gone when I removed the rain deflectors and front bug deflector on my truck. Beware!!! it did haze the clear coat a little but for me to get that glue off, it was worth it.

I think the box will but I believe the wiring harness is different. Honestly, I would just get an Adrenaline if you can swing it or save up till you can. Otherwise, you'll be in the same boat as me... you'll end up getting an Adrenaline at some point and then you would of spent money on an XZT that is just sitting in your garage...

Quadzilla adrenaline for mpg's is it worth it?
it is a canned tune that uses timing and canbus fueling. Like Me said there is no custom tuning so if you change injectors to something other than stock you wont be able to tune out the smoke. I think Quadzilla says it will provide 65 HP above stock.

Quadzilla adrenaline for mpg's is it worth it?
I bought the XZT and I got all the custom tunes on my Google drive and I was able to put on whatever tune I wanted. It worked OK, but just OK. It did give a noticeable boost in power but it was no where near what you will get from the Adrenaline. Within a year I upgraded to the Adrenaline so now I have an XZT box just sitting in my garage... If you'd like to message me your address I will ship you out my XZT to try out and if you like it we can work out a deal. If you dont like it, just ship it back. I think I have either the 3000 or the beta tune on it currently...

Torque Converter Acting Weird
Well, the gremlins are back. Same issue, when I step on the brake the TC disengages and immediately re-engages even though my foot is on the brake. The only time that it will disengage and stay off is if I am below 45ish MPH. The only thing I did was disconnect the grounds while I removed the starter when I did the CKP sensor. Still seems like there is a bad ground somewhere. The hunt continues...

Crank Position Sensor Acting Weird Now...
Well, I can say for certainty when the sensor goes the truck stops running. I had it idling out in front of my house today getting ready to go to NAPA to pick up the part and it just died. Thank goodness it didn't happen yesterday on my way to and from Tillamook. I was able to get it started but it took a little while. I made it to NAPA and back without any other issues. New sensor is in. We'll see how long this one works...

Crank Position Sensor Acting Weird Now...
Thats a good Idea @dripley. I will take the failed one back to AZ and get a replacement and just throw it in the glove box incase I need it. Thanks.

Crank Position Sensor Acting Weird Now...
Thanks, I will try the NAPA one. There is a NAPA nearby. This is the one that I got. It does have a lifetime warranty but judging by the reviews, I don't think I want to be replacing it every year... If I don't replace it today and it goes out completely will the truck not run? Reason I ask, I am supposed to go to the coast (about and hour drive) today to take care of some work there. I drove it back and forth to work this week without issue so far. Its just the tach cuts out sometimes, I don't notice any difference in the way the truck runs.

thanks guys. I will give that a try. I do have it setup to start a 140 degrees. I didnt even think of that.

Crank Position Sensor Acting Weird Now...
I got the issue with the torque converter acting up sorted out and now this... The gremlins didn't stay away long. I am now getting random drop outs of the tach and the CEL comes on and it has 0336 codes. I just changed out the CKP sensor awhile back after it developed these same symptoms but now they are back. Either the sensor I installed is a POS (I did get it from Autozone) or there is something else going on.

I hope its not the tone ring coming off. That dont sound like a fun fix... I did notice yesterday that it only happens when the engine is cold once it warms up (above 140) it dont happen... Here we go again. I will start another topic on this to keep things tidy on the forum.

Crossover Tubes - Replace vs. Reuse
I changed the cross-over tubes on mine when I did new injectors simply because I didn't what to have to do it twice if they leaked and I could afford the extra expense for the new tubes.

Torque Converter Acting Weird
Replaced both batteries, cleaned up the terminals, cleaned up the one ground in front of the drivers side battery, and pulled the plugs from the PCM and cleaned and put dielectric grease on them and reinstalled. The gremlins didn't stay away long. I am now getting random drop outs of the tach and the CEL comes on and it has 0336 codes. I just changed out the CKP sensor awhile back after it developed these same symptoms but now they are back. Either the sensor I installed is a POS (I did get it from Autozone) or there is something else going on.

I think its been long enough to call it fixed. Thanks everyone for your help and input with this issue.

Injectors
With those sized injectors you'll probably want to start with a mid-sized injector tune. If you are using tunes made for stock injectors that's probably why you are smokey. Try something like this:

Door speakers
Speaking of door speakers... I went to Pick n Pull with my son to see what treasures we could find and to see if we could find a passenger side door switch. We found a Dodge 1500 that just came in the day before and when I pulled the passenger side door panel to get to the switch there was a Pioneer 6x9 in the door. So guess who got 2 Pioneer speakers and a left and right door switch? I have the switches soaking in a nice rice bath till I can install it, just for good measure.
