If you want it to keep water out of the air cleaner make sure you get the elbow... The airbox where the intake is attached to the duckbill is not sealed. There is a small hole right above the cabin air intake louvers. Details are in the install instructions for the fording kit.
Diesel are different than gas. They like the increased heat to some degree. You're not far from me, take you gal out today for a 40 mile drive. You should feel and hear the fan kick in. Or if you just want to see what it's like to have the fan run, unplug the time delay module to make the fan...
Would you be so kind as to measure the voltage output on the three prongs of the round solar panel connector that goes to the push to test box? i.e. is one ground, one 12v and the other 24v and which is which...
I have one of the pulsetech distribution boxes too. they are NICE! but I have a 200A dual volt alternator so running the 12v off that box will not be an issue. plus it has their vodoo circuitry to help keep the batteries maintained...
Does the PDB have a 12V converter inside in addition to the pulse feature?

If you are worried, add seafoam before change while its warm, run her for 30 minutes to desludge. Change oil and filter. Add bestline oil treatment and follow normal PM schedule. I remember reading that one of the engines has a lower section in the oilpan that may not get drained all the way...
Regarding no pressure, make sure the gauge works. Disconnect the wire for the gauge at the pressure sender at the back of the motor... the gauge will go max.

I don't see anything on the schedule for 2017 yet.
One thing to watch for that I have seen on multiple trucks is out of the blue, I look at the temp gauge after some time of running and it's pegged. I stop the truck, shutdown and start again and the temp is normal.... I cannot figure out a way to reproduce this, it has just happened 3 out of...
