Interesting thread as I was unaware of a bluetooth adapter for the Vic system. I went with a aviation Flightcom system in my M998. Looking forward to your progress. Since you are adding all kinds of cool stuff to your truck have you thought about the Iris quiet power inverter? I have one and...
As stated good "X" doors are a thousand plus each. They are getting that price so why sell them for less. Everything to do with these trucks is getting more and more expensive unfortunately. Good luck with your search.

Does she start right up or does it take time cranking?
What is the glow plug light doing during the startup procedure?
If she take her time starting when it's below 60 outside then that is an indication of a start/glow issue. I see you replaced everything but did you test the system on...
I'm a big fan of the red top Optima batteries. Been using them for many years and on the average get ten years out of them. The Hawkers are great but the cost is way high. Have had two Optima batteries in my M998 for two years with zero issues. Just my two cents.
