Navigating Website's New Format
Tried that and all it did was change the background from black to white. The format is still the same with a bigger font, can find things.

Navigating Website's New Format
The old website format I had down pat but with this new format I'm having a heck of a time finding where things are now. Two examples that I cannot find are the article section and the personal messenger area. I use my laptop for 99.9% of the communications I do here. Michel has tweaked the format to be more phone friendly but has that now made it unfriendly to other users?

Anyone try these lights?
How much? These look like the something from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/BUNKER-INDUST-Daytime-Running-Replacement/dp/B07WFLK5D6/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2O08SKPSEI6UO&keywords=2000+dodge+ram+2500+fog+light+assembly&qid=1673665479&replacementKeywords=fog+light+assembly&s=automotive&sprefix=2000+dodge+ram+2500+fog+light+assembly%2Cautomotive%2C182&sr=1-2&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc&vehicle=2000-40-2780------------&vehicleName=2000+Dodge+Ram+2500

Batteries, Alternator, Winching, Check Gauges
You're going to install a fuse in a wire; not taking it out on a date.

Batteries, Alternator, Winching, Check Gauges
Along with the alternator being controlled by the PCM have you installed fuse in the blue wire from the PCM to the alternator to protect the PCM circuit board/ voltage regulator?

Oxygen sensor issue with aftermarket cats
The codes were P0420 and P0430? I've had the same codes on other cars and fix them by using spark plug non-foulers. Drill the inside of one non-fouler to just over ½ inch so that the rear O² sensor can be screwed into it. Now screw that non-fouler with the O² sensor into the other non-fouler. Install all that into the exhaust bung and you're done. O'Reilly sells the non-foulers 2 for $10; part# 42009.

Tappet Cover Opinions
One draw back that I see is if the cove needs to come off there is only one source for the oring where the gasket is produced by several manufacturers. If that one source for the oring goes out of business, what would you do?

W-T Mod Early 1998.5 Need Assistance
leave that ground attached to the head. You may want to clean the connection there. Reattach all the connections to the back of the alternator, one cable is for the ground and the other cable is the B+ charge which will be routed to the positive terminal on the right (passenger) side battery. The other two wires are for voltage control from the PCM. The blue wire is where you can install a (5-7.5 amp) fuse for PCM protection. It's not that much work to open that wire harness to expose everything. If you disconnect the alternator charge wire at the PDC you will then have its full length to work with when routing it to the right-side battery via a fuse or circuit breaker. When you open the wire harness up you will see where the ground wires are all joined this where you want to make your cut so that you have enough wire to work with and have a clean looking job.

If I had a load of mesquite I'd be barbecuing a pig.

Truck Not Running Right
Another thing with high electrical loads is the fuse you add, to protect the PCM, in the blue wire from the alternator. I tried a 5-amp fuse, but it popped when the grid heaters and E-brake air compressor were on together. I put a 7.5-amp fuse in and no more trouble.

No, I wouldn't worry about those things at all.

Huge puddle question
Check that the vent hoses on the axles are there and no water infiltrated the axle housings and contaminated the oil.

Google push pin rivet. I picked up a spare in the pick apart yard.

Antifreeze
A simple answer is yes, a 50/50 mix will work for your location in Texas. As the concentrate of antifreeze is increased the boiling point is increased but the drawback to that is at higher concentrations the ability of the coolant mixture to absorb and release heat is reduced. I experienced this in 1986 when a customer's car was running hot/overheating all the time. After talking to him he said that he had "flushed "the cooling system and fill it with 100% antifreeze. After draining and refilling the cooling system with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze the overheating problem was fixed. The other import part of the cooling system to increase the temperature at which the engine coolant will boil is the system pressure cap. The higher the pressure the higher the boiling point. For every PSI increase in pressure the boiling point is raised ~2.5°F (1.39°C). There for an OEM radiator pressure cap rated at 16 PSI will raise the boiling point to 252°F (122.24°C). Do not go above the vehicle manufactures recommended pressure or failure of other cooling system components will occur.

Last minute prep for first measurable snowfall
It sounds like the solenoid/Bendix in the starter motor sticks when very cold.
