    Brake issue

    Double check you have the proper flare, if it doesn't fit the proportioning valve seat, you will get that major leak.

    no power to blower...advice needed...

    It could very well be the blower motor resistor, the ceramic heats up and crumbles and the various parts break away, pull the resistor and check it, the damage will be obvious, don't buy replacement via autozone mega expensive, check out amazon I just bought one for $13 bucks free shipping.

    over voltage and converter lock and unlock

    I have read up on this and it appears due to a rebuilt alternator that did't get the rings renewed, generates RF noise and better shielding with the ground cable, to the passenger side battery

    Installing new injectors

    My previous reply meant if you know how to work on diesels and cracking the fuel lines open then feel free to start working on your truck, I didn't feel comfortable opening those fuel lines as well as my health, I had the bucks to pay someone else to do it just this once. So it worked for me. I...
