Hey yall! For once this isnt a real problem with my truck [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif[/img]. I've been around diesels for some time know and I know that more fuel to the combustion chamber means more oomph [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img](technical terms, I know). Anyways, I was curious as to where the governor screw was on the IP, and how far to turn it to get a little more pick up without worrying about damaging my mostly stock rig [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]. Thanks!

Unless you have a turbocharger it won't make enough improvement to notice. Before you turn up the pump, it would be prudent to install a pyrometer to avoid a meltdown. Do a search for turning up the IP for instructions.
Well crud. I'm naturally aspirated. I guess I'll just keep it slow and steady 'till I find a way to teach this old dog new tricks. Thanks anyway.

governor screw--you mean the fuel screw???????? its behind the triangle cover on the right side of the ip---and start looking for a turbo setup--then it will hum--
