    Rear Brake problems

    I used a hose from older truck to bypass. Fit right in. Years ago. Centric 15065325 at rockauto.com I think it was. If you have to lock up the brakes, the rear will try to pass you on the side.

    Cetane Booster beneficial in a 7.3 idi?

    Florida tags probably made it look like you were hauling a 'load'. HP would have pulled you over in Tennessee. They catch 'loads' through here all the time.

    Slight "rattle" and tire wear

    Yes they will rattle when worn out. May try tightening the bolts at the frame links. May want to add a steering link damper for that tire wear.
