99 Ram 1500 no blinkers
Yes. The power flows from fuse #4 to the flasher timer/relay, to the hazard portion of the CS (combined switch). The power then flows around the left/right turn part in the CS to power the 4 turn signal blub wires. When using the left/right switch if no power is flowing to those wires, then the CS is bad.

Fuel in Oil, not sure what to do!
I've run 4 and 6cyl pushrod engines with the valve cover off and used shop towels over them to keep the oil from spraying everywhere. You can use old rages to do the same thing, lifting one at a time for inspection. Another thing you might want to do is remove the fanbelt, so you're not worried about getting caught in it or the fan and there is no wind being generated to disrupt the rags that are laid down. A short engine run with it off will not hurt anything.

Another hard start/loss of prime
Same problem Volvo diesel cars had in the early '80s', air leak at the fuel filter banjo fitting for the fuel line to the injection pump. We'd replace the copper washers and no more hard start problem.

That sure can do it. Plug the drain hose off first and see what happens. It may be a cheap easy fix.

Low Boost After Boost Elbow Install
Try this, remove the hose from the wastegate actuator, block off the hose, and take the truck out and do a few hard launches. You should see 28-30PSI. If still low boost, then waste gate problem, if good boost then problem with boost elbow.

That's great! Looking forward to you and your in-laws joining us; the more the better. We usually go the middle of the second week in May and leave Thursday of the following week. We'll get a firm date sometime at the end February or the first part of March.

I bring an old garden hose for that and do it at night.

Not this time of year if your dry camping. Dry camping is pretty much open that time of year. IF you want hook ups then yes there is a problem. There are only 43 of them and they are all taken the 1st day they're open. All camp sites are dirt and uneven and not well marked. We pull up into a group near a water spigot so we can refill our freshwater tank anytime. We bring 2 boats, a 14' and 16", with us so no problem getting out on the lake. Some time we bring the boats down to the Bridgeport reservoir and try our luck there. There is a free shotting range in Bridgeport that we go to for a day and everyone is welcome to come.

How to add more ignition-hot fuses?
The Mondeo is known as the Fusion in the US. From 1994 to 2013 the models sold in the UK and US were not the same. From 2014 till now they look the same except the driver's position.

How to add more ignition-hot fuses?
The BK/OR (black/orange) wire from the ignition switch. The one marked RUN A22. Are you going to use a Painless fuse block? If you do get one with the relays. You will be able to take the main power for the aux fuse box from the battery or the terminal next to the 140 amp fuse in the PDC and rout it to terminal 30 of the relays. Power from the BK/OR wire at the ignition switch then be used 86 of the to energize the relay at terminal 86, You could use this to "clean up" the wiring installation for all the add on accessories.

01 RAM 2500 Heat Exchanger Coolant Lines.
YES. Soft copper water lines used in my house with 50 PSI. I think it will handle the 16 PSI in the truck cooling system.

Pumps work by suction. The impellers suck the fluid through the pump causing a vacuum just behind them. Atmospheric pressure pushing on the fuel in the tank is what moves the fuel to the vacuum caused by the pump. A fine micron filter, placed between the fluid supply and pump, acts as a restriction. Case in point is when the engine stops running due to fuel starvation because the fuel tank vent tube was blocked with mud. When the fuel cap is removed you hear a whoosh as air rushes in to fill the vacuum in the tank.

Why most business do anything, profit. A few dollars in extra cost saved per unit adds up to thousands over the run of that model. If it makes it out of the warranty period before failures start to happen then all the better.

I like the Raybestos or Centric brand products. Did they offer fries with that brake check?

Metal screening would be a little hard to glue to the cowl. To affix that type of screening I would use sheet metal screws with flat washers and a sealant on the screw holes to stop any future rust.

I used nylon window screen mesh that I had lying around. The adhesive, I think I used, was clear silicone sealant.

Have someone else do it. When I set out to cover the openings, I made templets out of thin carboard from cereal boxes. I still have the templets and can do your truck at the next camp get together. - 2nd Gen Cummins heater temp differences between trucks
