Own a bike? Post a pic, let's get started
I rode a 70 Honda cb350, a 1971 Kawasaki 350 Enduro, and my last bike was a 1974 Triumph Bonneville. In 1976 I almost got hit three times in two weeks. My wife "suggested" that I sell the bike. I haven't ridden since.

Need a sanity check.. changing careers
I've been a mechanic for over 50 years and owned my repair shop for 28 years and when a customer declines repair work there is a reason. They might not have the funds for the repair, or they found someone to do it "cheaper", or they are getting rid of the car and don't want to put anymore into it. Either way I don't care, not my car not my problem, and my car runs fine. Do something you enjoy and make a living from it. If it's a government job, local state fed, all the better because of the benefit package. A friend of mine just left the Volvo dealership for a mechanic job, with a great benefit package, in the city of Carlsbad, CA. They hired him because of his training and experience in electric vehicles.

Grid heater staying on
Power flow: battery positive to solenoid to grid heater relays to grid heater. The switch you installed controls the solenoid for battery power to flow to the grid heater relays. The grid heater relays have to be energized by the ECM for power to flow to the grid heaters. If power is flowing all the time to the grid heaters with the switch on and the engine off, then a grid heater relay is stuck on. Or did the grid heaters get connected to the solenoid by passing the grid heater relays?

Question
Here are a few. Blue Angel seems to be a common name. https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.blue_angel_transport_llc.8804abd9c7915efcfedb36586cdb42c9.html https://www.quicktransportsolutions.com/truckingcompany/california/blue-angel-transport-inc-usdot-2858618.php https://www.truckdrivingjobs.com/companies/56d03e5678b25140c2d84f00 https://www.uship.com/service-provider/334152770-blue-angel-transportation-llc

W-T ground wire mod - Simplified
I had extra cable and lugs from an amp installation, so I joined the two negative posts together. It took less than 15 minutes. No harm, no foul and maybe a benefit later on.

Pump gone bad?
Yes, some are bad out of the box. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/denso-alternator-diodes-and-brush-pack-replacement-r537/?tab=comments#comment-39

Pump gone bad?
P0230 is the ECM not seeing the lift pump power draw at terminals 15 and 35, not a problem. P0254, P0370, and P1690 are all codes for a VP44 injection pump failing.

Air Vent?
Did you mean 64 KB and not MB. I edit mine down, on a laptop, to around 150 KB before posting.

Overhead
This should help you. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=2000+dodge+ram+overhead+console+removal The release tabs on mine broke so I used two small Sheetmetal screws to secure it. The switch and plugs for the video screen of the rear view out of my 5th wheel is located in the overhead.

It would go down into the oil pan. It might get sucked up to the oil screen on the oil pump pickup.- Low Boost After Boost Elbow Install
Had the same thing happen to me when replacing Turbos on Volvos. Sometimes the hole would be round and other times rectangle. So long as the bolt holes line up, and the center hole is large enough for good oil flow use what you bought.- Olympics

What do you have to lose? Clean the area with brake clean and a toothbrush before applying. I have used JB weld on an intake manifold that was leaking coolant. It fixed the problem.- Winter weather - What do you see where your at?
