What will cause the pump to not put more fuel in until the truck slows down to 55mph on grades? It does fine once fuel is applied and even accelerates up the grades (minor), it just slows down first even with the pedal to the floor.

Took the truck for the first real drive since turning up the fuel and the gov springs. It's awesome to be able to drive at least 70mph finally. Does pretty good on grades too, though it does confuse me a teeny bit. It will slow down on grades even with the pedal floored until it hits 55mph or so...

Mmmm shine! I miss me some of that!! Aint had no good shine since I left Alabama!

I talked to them about the lockers at the same time I asked about the gauges I ordered. They're still waiting to hear back from the other company.

Those Military Guys

I ordered mine from TMG, bit pricey but not any different than any other kit price, I just wanted the digital look instead of the analog.

Thanks for that info, I was wondering how to turn up the boost. I can't wait to get my EGT and Boost gauges in on wed, too bad it'll have to wait until the weekend to install them though.

I musta missed that, I certainly would've taken them both, even if I only used the engine.

I was rereading the thread from the beginning, does anyone have pics of their timing pins so that I can go back to a referenced point? I'm at least going to undo what I did earlier

Well that was a fail, gonna have to reset it back to what to was and figure out how to set proper timing marks on the crank and then figure out where timing is at right now.

Thanks for the link, I wasn't sure if the 94-98 was the right year range and was about to ask. I'll order those hopefully in a couple days when I also order the EGT and boost gauge.

I suspected that was the case, I'll have to see where I can find that kit then. I only adjusted the springs to get to 2600-3000 so I could improve highway driving. Hopefully today I can get my timing adjusted to reduce EGTs as well.

Has anyone else had issues keeping a low idle after increasing the fuel rate? Or did I forget to adjust something?

Another easy way (and free) is to measure the circumference of the damper, which is 30.5625 for mine, divide by 360 for the measurement per degree and then multiply by the number of degrees you want to change the timing. I'm just going to do 8* for a total of 16*. That equates to rotating mine...

Haven't got the EGT gauge yet, I'm getting that in a couple days, which is fine since the truck will stay parked until then anyways.

I finally pulled the trigger and increased my fuel. I increased gov springs by 2 turns, max load screw by 2.5, and excess fuel by 3. I wanted to adjust the rack travel as well, but I've got one of those tamper proof screws holding the cover on and need to figure out how to remove it first. All...

OK, I wasn't sure if the IP shaft was splined, keyed, or tapered. At least tapered we can adjust timing without removing the whole cover. Now I just have to find the tools since all I have is the standard gear puller, I'll look at HFs steering wheel puller next time I'm in town.

How small is the gear on the IP? Once I get tach off, I don't see how I would remove the IP drive gear.

That looks REALLY nice!! I wish mine was that far along!
