    Poor power and smoke on start up

    Pull the plug off the ICP sensor, and check for oil contamination, Scan it and take a gander at the ICP pressure, Could be injectors getting weak, but you could change the oil to the 5w40, and a modified IDM (higher injector voltage) are some things you could try.. Cheapest first..

    Question OD light flashing then stopped flashing

    some 2wd trucks have an output speed sensor in the tailshaft.. but if you cleaned the VSS in the pig and now the light is off, have the codes cleared and drive it.

    Question Front end shake

    ah... the dreaded "Death Wobble" Ford pickups have been notorious for this since they've been capable of speeds in excess of 45 mph.. USUALLY, on a Superduty, the problem can be traced to either an A: worn out track bar B: weak steering damper It IS a curable condition.

    Lost all electrical power.

    I was gonna say,that sounded like a blitzed fuse link.. the sparkages at the alternator I did not expect, however.. Great job keeping us updated on the fix!

    Question Smokes excessively on startup

    this time of year, I'd think incomplete combustion.. it goes away after a couple of seconds, right?

    Why are my interior lights flashing?

    it's a wonder your BOO switch doesn't interfere with your ERV/ERC or your TAB/TAD operation..

    LED lighting causes Alt/ Battery issues

    hadn't really seen much of the new super high output stuff off-road, so I can't really comment on that. What I can tell you is, if you are trying to install it on an older vehicle that still has a bi-metallic flasher instead of a relay, LED's don't draw enough current top operate the flasher...

    running boards & nerf bars

    My truck has the factory cab mounted running boards. My cab is a rusted POS. Therefore, use of said running boards is hazardous to your health. Who uses frame mounted shin skinners (nerf bars) and what brand? Self installed, or done by a trim shop?

    EBPV question

    while the EBPV system will cause a noticeable difference in power (can be perceived as a light drag on the brakes), it SHOULD NOT prevent the engine from accelerating.. I think I'd pop the connector off the ICP sensor and check it for contamination (oil), corrosion (moisture), or loose pin contact.
