New guy
I left mine empty but like @dripley you can use that empty terminal to power something else now. That terminal is rated for 140 amps so a high amp draw idem can be powered from there.

I might be able to stick around for Saturday. Root beer for the kid.

manual boost controller
That's what I'm running and I'm seeing 30psi by the time the trans does the 3-4 upshift. Please fill out your signature so we can see what equipment your truck has. It will help in evaluating any problems your truck may experience.

manual boost controller
I set mine with a lot of threads showing.

manual boost controller
I had a 50' roll of 1/4" hose so I ran a line into the cab from the turbo to the controller and back out to the waste gate so I could adjust it on the fly. I made several wide open runs to set it. I tried to set it with air pressure from the compressor but it the valve didn't seam to want to open.

Intermittent idle surge-increase
Try not to park the truck in the same place every night. Rodents remember where food and a warm place to nest is and will keep coming back to the same place.

Napa parts
In north San Diego County there are 5 Napa stores owned by the same person. If you need a part they can get it usually the same day but their prices are higher on most things than anyone else and the quality is about the same. There are a lot of wholesale and commercial part suppliers here I'd rather deal with.

What the heck!
I'll be checking the above out before we drive into the Badlands National Park today.

What the heck!
Today getting on I-90 at Chamberlaind, SD after having lunch, the torque convertor would not lock up. I tried to lock it up with the mystery switch but no luck. The trans temp climbing to 190°F, then the convertor locks up. What the heck! No check engine light. I'm thinking either poor connection at transmission, problem with the lock up solenoid, problem in valve body, or problem in the torque convertor.

- Auxiliary power outlet malfunction
Your socket is going bad. If it was something, like the 'hotwire' red/tan 16 gauge wire going to the plug, grounding the fuse would blow with out anything in the socket.- New guy
Yes, that wire from the positive terminal of the left battery to the PDC is where all the power to run the electrical components, except the starter motor, comes through.- grid heater delete
I disconnected the grid heaters just before this trip and the coldest start was in Wiggins, CO at 32°F. The engine started up, some white smoke and loopy idle for 20 seconds then every thing was fine.- Blown 40a Trailer Fuse
I don't know . I've never tried that. It would be great if you could an amp meter in line with it and test it that way. It would have to be a meter rated for that big of a load. What is the amp/watt rating of those backup lights?- Heat Shield for the BHAF
It was before his beak grew out.- Removing Windshield wipers
From page 8R-12 of the factory service manual REMOVAL (1) Unlatch and open the hood. (2) Lift the wiper arm far enough to raise the wiper blade off of the glass and permit the wiper arm latch plate to be pulled out to its holding position, then release the arm (Fig. 5). The wiper arm and blade will remain off the glass with the latch in this position. CAUTION: The use of a screwdriver or other prying tool to remove a wiper arm may distort it. This distortion could allow the arm to come off of the wiper pivot during wiper operation, regardless of how carefully it is reinstalled. (3) Using a slight rocking motion, remove the wiper arm pivot end from the wiper pivot- NEED HELP! Engine cold, but Coolant Temperature gauge Pegged with Error Codes
Yes @dripley right about the DBRIII being a dealer item but a good OBDII code reader with live data capability will work along with your volt ohm multimeter .- Morning Pic For Today...........Post A Pic around your place.....
NO, it can't be that. Haven't you been keeping up with current meteorological trends. It's climate change.- NEED HELP! Engine cold, but Coolant Temperature gauge Pegged with Error Codes
See if this helps. You don't have a DRBIII(R) , your multimeter (VMO) will work. Be careful not to distort the connector terminals when putting pins into them that's why they say to back probe them.- What the heck!
Thank you. It's nice to know there is a helping hand out there if needed. We will be heading north on I-35 then west on I-90 in Minnesota when we leave here. - Auxiliary power outlet malfunction
