'Whole bunch more questions

Just got back from ice fishing and sitting out on that ice I thought up a bunch of questions:

1. What is the point of running high sulfur off-road fuel in a newer diesel?

2. Has anyone here "y"ed the exhuast on there truck? I want to "y" my exhaust and bring it out both sides in front of my back wheels. Has anyone here done that... and how did you cross over and everything?

3. What is a "Banks High Ram"?

4. How often should you change the fuel filter?

5. I have found the tach slot in the PCM. It is like terminal 43 or something like that. If I got a tach, would the wire have to run all the way to that? What kind of voltage goes to the tach?

6. I heard that these 2.5" leveling springs are great for the 4x4 diesels to help the ride... are they hard to put on?

7. Should I change out the transfer case fluid while I'm changing out the transmission fluid? What oil does it take?

8. How much does the rear differential take for oil?

9. I want to build myself a big bull bar type bumper. Kind of like the one that that Earthroamer guy has on his truck. I want to make it out of plate steel and some tubing. Can you guys send me some links or post some pictures of your bumpers so I can get some ideas?

10. What's next after the fuel pump and turbo mods? I was thinking probably the injectors.

That should be about it. Thanks a lot for any replies.

I really want to start tricking out this truck. I am going to go over the whole thing and change all the fluids, like the differential and the transmition at my next oil change (I do them myself). I'm going to run some conditioner through the truck, and start doing my modifications. I think this is going to be an awesome truck when I'm done. I'm so excited!
