Cool Final Checks

I'm going to Colorado Friday morning (3:00am), and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on things to check over. Besides the obvious, tires (new), oil, lights, wipers,... Any bolts that need checked, and maybe have a little Loctite applied?
Also I've had my signature say that I've got the tach, but its hasn't worked since I put it on! I know that the sensor works (Thanks to mark93, if the sensor works, so does the charging system), but the gauge still won't work. I've got a good ground, 12V, but I don't know about the signal. The only weird thing is that when I put the throttle on the floor, the needle will jump around a little. I already had Scheid Diesel (Great Guys) send me a different one, but it does the same thing. Any suggestions?
On a brighter note, I finally got my "dream exhaust" A 5", 4' chrome stack, run through the bed, right behind the cab. And not only does it look great, but it sounds even BETTER! Also got my 16cm housing on, which combined with the exhaust increased overall boost by about 4psi. Before either change, I was seeing 15psi, today with the 16cm and exhaust I saw 19psi. I'm just a little dissappointed because I wanted to hit 20 or more, but I guess that I'll have to wait for the injectors down the road. Maybe I'll recheck the intercooler clamps, and airbox, and exhaust, and turbo.
Thanks in advance, and I hope your trucks sound as good as mine!
