Thanks Todd, that's the next plan of attack... plugging off the elbow completely. That will definately tell us if the hose is leaking, the wastegate is in need of attention, or if the problem lies elsewhere. Again, thanks for taking the time to reply!

Ramman, with the boost elbow, is there still a hole through the fitting where the hose/hose clamp connects to? ... or is there just the hole in the side? Do you know what size hole(s)? Thanks for the reply... . I really appreciate your help!

Last night I helped my boss install the same Bosch 230/605 plate in his 97 2500 4x4 that I currently have in my 95 (see signature). What the plate did for my truck was raise my stock boost from 24psi to where it is now at 35psi (I've confirmed this reading with two different gauges). It turned...

OK, OK... . I believe you! Does it matter that I already bottomed my hi-speed idle screw? ... . will this effect the GSK kit or does it even have anything to do with it? Thanks again!

... Come on guys, does the GSK really make THAT BIG a difference? I coulda swore not that long ago, after a plate installation, guys were saying that injecters were the next step... Is the GSK really the way to go??? ... and how much can my stock auto take? Will installing the GSK cause even...

I actually bought the plate from a guy that works at Cummins. After words, I talked to our local dealer, and according to him, the plate is found in several different 5. 9 equipped vehicles. He said it's a stock plate in a lot of delivery type trucks equipped with 5. 9's. The slip in the...

Wayne- I'm the wrong guy to be asking. Through the TDR, because I already have such high boost, I was told not to even bother with the elbow... so I'm not familiar with them. One thing I should make clear, though, is that I'm not running the TST plate. The plate I bought (from a Cummins...

Reddog1- The installation of the Bosch plate brought my boost up to 35psi. I should add though, my truck stock, produced 25 pounds of boost. I am not using a "boost elbow" and I just replaced my original Autometer with another (they now have the new antifog lenses on their guages so I sent...

KRoaden- See my signature for truck details... At idle, no boost. At 60mph, no load, 4-6psi (depending on wind / conditions). At WOT, I peg my AutoMeter guage at 35psi. At idle, 250-300 degF. At 60mph, no load, 500 degF typically, up to 600. At WOT, I don't recall ever seeing...

Food for thought... I just battled this same problem on my bosses "non-bombed" '97 when we switched trucks for the night (... I had to let him see what he was missing... ). Anyway, his cruise quit working and his thermostat wouldn't redirect air flow(of course this happens when I'm...

Thanks KD- Of course, I get to Plover about once everyother year... . and I just got back the DAY before I posted the question! That's the way it goes sometimes... Thanks for the post, I appreciate your help.

Just wondering, for all of you living in God's country, are there any dyno facilities in the LaCrosse/Madison, WI area? I'm dying to get my truck on a chassis dyno, but am having difficulties locating one. Thanks in advance!

Where are you guys getting the 40 lb/ft spec from?

What misprint are you guys talking about? My service manual for my '95 calls for 25 lb/ft. Thanks

HerbW- Do you have his email address? Also, I neglected to state that the guy who purchased it for me works at Cummins and bought it through work. It came brand new in a Bosch tagged bag. The markings on the bag are: 2 427 133 620 and; 870 015110. I am just hoping to find out what...
