Moving to almost the great white north.
I wish you luck with the new adventure. One of the fellows that Jag1 and I camp with has a B and B on his property in Fallbrook, CA. He has a "tiny house" the guests stay in and 5 horses for ridding. They do a good business with it year round.

Boost sensor location?
That's how I did mine. I bought the fittings at a Parker store.

Installed mechanical lift pump but....
I had the same problem with an oil leak after I put my Fuel Boss on. The oil is not coming out of the bolt holes but from between the pan, gasket and block. I retightened the bolts to the FSM 18 FT-LB (215 IN-LB) and the leak stopped. I used zip ties too; bought a bag of the at Harbor Fright and zip tied the heck out of the hoses. I almost never cut the end of a zip tie when done; it keeps from turning them into little razors.

Alternator protection
This is the voltage and amperage on the blue wire when i tested it with a load. I had the amp meter hooked up backwards for that mines sign.

Finally got a new (to me) truck and it’s....
My friend's dad bought one brand new back in '71'. It was a short bed step side, 6cyl, with 3 on the tree. He said he got it because it cost less than a car at just over $2,000.

Dim left headlight
NO, You have high resistance, bad contact/corrosion, between fuse C in the PDC and the head lamp assembly. The switch is on the ground side of the bulbs.

BLM Lands and National Forest boundaries
I use my wife's cell phone her carrier is Verizon, as a hot spot and link through it to get the internet when traveling. You will then be able to open the blm,gov/maps link and down load the maps. https://www.blm.gov/maps There are also apps that you can that show all public lands with trails and campgrounds. https://www.bing.com/search?q=public+lands+app&FORM=R5FD1

Tachometer wire color
I've searched the internet for a 96, 97, or 98 12v wire diagram with no luck. I was going off the 94 12v diagram for that gray/black wire.

No key on power to fuel pump
The ECM is what controls the lift pump from pins #15 and #35. Most of the mechanics who work at the dealers don't have the experience on these older trucks to properly diagnose them. Below are a few articles to help with what needs to be done.

Should I get a cold air intake for my 5.9 Cummins?
Save your money. The turbocharger heats the air when it compresses it and the intercooler cools it about 100°F. The heat shield between the air filter and the engine doesn't stop hot air from under the hood being used considering the amount of air being used. A 5.9 liter engine running at 1800 RPMs is using over 187 cubic feet of air a minute.

Tachometer wire color
Use the gray/black wire, pin #24 at the PCM. The orange wire has the voltage and the black/lite blue is the signal reference

01 ECM compatibility
The PCM controls the transmission overdrive and and torque converter lockup and the ECM is different for an auto also. Others that have changed from an auto to a 5 speed will know more about it.

Possible Big Chicken Travels out West.... When?
@dripley If you come to the San Diego area I've got water, 20 amp 120V , a sewer dump, and a loaner car.

Can you post the line pressures when decelerating with and with out the TV vacuum solenoid activated and the TC locked up?

New DAP VP44 - Hard Start When Hot?
I have the fuse for the electric pump pulled and use only the Full Boss when starting/running. I have only used the electric pump to prime the fuel system when replacing the VP44 and again when the injectors were replaced.

VP44 opinions
Here's a photo of my injection pump. It is a replacement remanufactured pump purchased from @dieselautopower and installed 8/25/17 by me and @Mopar1973Man in Riggins, ID. The truck had about 97,000 MI on it. Some rebuilders use tape/label, some use paint and some use both. You can see the yellow anti-tampering paint on the screw head like yours has on it. Yes, I'm still using banjo fittings from the filter to the pump.
-
VP44 opinions
I've heard that before. Seriously, I think that pump has been replaced. You can see the yellow paint dabs on the screws and fittings. Parts re-builders and wrecking yards will mark parts for anti-tampering. If the paint is disturbed the warranty is void.

Been chasing TC lockup issues for awhile
When the apps goes bad we recommend the Timbo. I keep one under my back seat for replacement when the stock one goes bad. You can find it in this sites store section.

Fuel Prices How low will they go
Here in the Great Over Taxed State of California With its oil fields and refineries and failing roads this is the lowest I've seen in years: regular @ $2.52/gal at the local Costco, diesel @ $3.43/gal at an ARCO. The San Diego county average, calculated by AAA, for today is regular @ $3.201/gal and diesel @ $3.605/gal.

coronavirus protection
Looks like our sports has now gone virtual, since there can't be any crowds in the wake of the outbreak, with Fox broadcasting NASCAR Pro Invitational IRacing Series from virtual Homestead-Miami speedway. I can't wait for the virtual baseball season so I can have a virtual hot dog with my virtual beer. I guess then we can go get the virtual toilet paper. https://www.foxsports.com/nascar/video/1714445891581

Used Pacbrake install
I'm trying to figure out how to turn it off, along with the torque converter lockup, automatically when the speed goes lower than 35mph like the BD TorkLoc does.
