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.

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.

Which way to adjust rear drum brakes.
I adjusted mine about two weeks ago. The end of the adjusting spoon in contact with the adjusting wheel, on either the left or right side, needs to go up ↑. Now, facing towards the front of the car the adjusting wheel on the left will turn counter-clockwise ↶ and the adjusting wheel on the right side will turn clockwise ↷.

No O.D or lock up
Glad you got that part fixed but that's why I had someone else do my hip replacement. It looked easy on YouTube.
-
No O.D or lock up
That only controls the overdrive, not the torque converter lockup.

No O.D or lock up
Start by swapping the transmission control relay in the PDC with another of the same size. If the condition persists check for power to terminals 30 and 86 of the transmission control relay whit he key in the on position

Tighten front wheel hub
@BrokeAssPainter asked this question: I just changed out my right wheel hub assy, everything I'm finding online says tighten to 20ft/lb then back off quarter turn and then hand tighten......... Honestly that just doesn't sound like it's going to hold my front tire on seeing as how it's a 2wd with independent front suspension. Anyone care to chime in? I'd really appreciate someone saving me from a catastrophic failure lmao From the 2001 Dodge Ram FSM page 59, section 2-8 FRONT - 2WD TORQUE SPECIFICATION Hub Bearing HD 2500/3500: 280 Ft. Lbs.

Banks exhaust brake
Thanks again, I'm not on Facebook but my wife is so I'll use her account to look around.

Surface rust advise, need you auto body guys
OMG, those are Japanese beer cans. I hope the truck doesn't morph into a Honda.

Banks exhaust brake
Thanks, I've been looking. I called all the truck wreaking yards from the Mexican boarder north to the next county and Craigslist but no joy No joy there either. One place didn't carry it and the metal place wanted almost 1k for the basic of materials. Call me.

Banks exhaust brake
Thank you for the heads up. No, not yet. A PacBrake set up would cost over$1700, A BD e-brake is over $1050, and a Banks e-brake is over $750. I just spent over $3,900 on a transmission and will be spending over $1,000 for a new RV roof along with another $1,000 for a 3 week trip. So, unless I find a killer deal on a new/used one this project is going to the back burner for now.

coronavirus protection
Went to the Hillcrest area of San Diego this morning with my wife driving. No traffic; it was lighter than a Sunday morning. I had to tell the driver to slow to under 80. The California Highway Patrol was all over the I-15 doing a max enforcement. We went into the doctor's recipient area and before they would talk to us we were directed to go to another room for Coronavirus screening. Here we were asked a few questions like "have you been out of the country recently" and "how do you feel"? In her hairnet, face shield, mask, and blue gown I knew she wasn't from the INS and I wanted to say "Well, McFly, we'er here to see the Doctor so what do you think?" but to get through this I just muttered a "No and I'm fine". I went to Costco last night at 8;20. All the tp, paper towels, bottled water, bread, pasta, meat(fresh and packaged),along with alcohol, and cleaning products were gone. There was a limited amount of milk, eggs, and frozen chicken breasts. Plenty of frozen fish and other more costly items were still on the shelves.

coronavirus protection
Just got back from WalMart. I went there to get some anti freeze for a Toyota i'll be working on. Out of curiosity I went to the grocery department on the other side of the store. The shelves are empty of all: soup, peanut butter, caned foods, flower, breakfast cereal, meats, cheese, milk, eggs, bread and cleaning products. Even mayo, mustered, relish and ketchup were slim pickings. I knew it was going to be spars but what I saw was as sobering as a seance from an apocalyptic thriller. It reinforced the practices of stocking food and supplies for an emergency.

47re temps in traffic
I have my sensor installed in the line between the transmission and engine coolant heat exchanger. This is the hottest you will see the fluid. You will then be able to react to the driving conditions before the fluid returned to the pan is overheated. A sensor in the pan will show the temp of the fluid being used in the transmission. There is a lag in the reaction time to temperature change. When you see the temperature going up and react to bring it down it can keep going up 5°-10° before decreasing. I have a deep pan, about 1 gallon more fluid, and the fluid coming out of the torque converter heats up just as fast as with the stock pan.

01 dies in gear but idles fine
Remove the transmission relay in the PDC and see what happens. That will kill the power to the variable force(pressure) solenoid, torque converter solenoid, and overdrive solenoid. I think the truck will be in 3ed when shifted to drive.
