    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    Finally gave it the full boot....getting right at about 30 psi and didn't get above 850 egt....guess I cant ask for more than that!

    Yes, though routing the rubber boost hose was interesting as the supplied fitting put the nipple at a 90 degree angle where as the original hose was straight up. There wasn't a way to do it without introducing some significant bends.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    I got the #11 plate in....definitely more power and the engine seems to rev faster. I might have to play with the star wheel as I leave a cloud of smoke behind me. I haven't given a full throttle run yet but my boost only goes up to 26 psi at 3/4 throttle...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) S&B intake

    I'm eagerly awaiting my PG7 Stage 2 setup. I am eager to see if there will be a sheen of oil on the turbo... I took my stock hose off to facilitate other maintenance and saw that the inside of the house has a very light layer of pollen dust. I don't know where it came from, but there's a leak...

    Awesome! I have a while to wait for mine. I did order a drop-in PG7 to replace the K&N ( I know, I know) in my wife's Jeep. Hopefully that will be here next week.

    Yes you did tell me...and I remembered just as I was putting my tools away. Unfortunately a thunderstorm was imminent so I couldn't fix it then. I do very much appreciate the guidance though, it did take much of the confusion out of the process for me.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    I was told that anything more than an 11 would cause my clutch to slip...I just don't have the $1k sitting around for a clutch right now... Do you have to remove the fuel lines to get to the tamper screw? I don't see how you can get anything on it straight without doing so...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    Well I took another stab at it. I backed out both retaining nuts until they were finger right then did the standard 3 clicks after the initial click. Yesterday I didn't realize there are two spring cups to be adjusted and only did one. Today I got to the other one and it took 6 clicks to back it...

    Yes sir...the guy who installed it tightened it far too much to begin with. I revved it a bit afterwards and everything sounded Ok...aside from the high idle.

    Nice. Unfortunately for me Summit doesn't have the PG7 Stage 2 in stock and the estimated arrival isby until May .

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    Well I took it apart today. Other than the frustration at finding my tools in utter disarray the job of getting,to the springs wasn't bad. Weather was on its way in so I was limited to adjusting the retaining nut. I backed it off 3 clicks. After putting it back together I started it up and the...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Bought the $199 3 pc exhaust manifold off fleabay....

    Cool...I hope it does work out for you...maybe you'll be the trailblazer for us all!

    I think I'm ordering a stage 2 PG7 kit as soon as I get my $50 summit bucks certificate

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    Thanks VERY much for all the help! I plan on giving it a go this afternoon. The 27 mile drive to work was hell this morning with the revs hanging like that. I don't know that I like how quickly the revs come now either. I kind of like the idea of the slow revving but hugely powerful diesel engine.

    Ha apparently we were typing at the same time. I might try and leave work early tomorrow and attempt this. Oddly enough the thing I most worried about is removing the shut off solenoid.

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    No offense taken. He's a pretty good guy but I didn't learn until hour 3 he had never done this before. I didn't feel confident doing it myself to begin with which is why I wasted $200 on him. I fully regret ever ordering this spring kit as the truck is much worse than before. I forgot to...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    Well I don't rev past 3k....I know a lot of people say that but I really don't. Why is an 11 plate a bad idea with the gsk? I'm beginning to think they are set too tight. I have no idea how to adjust them and I really don't want to have to pay him to do it...I can't seem to find any good...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) GSK problems

    So the guy that I have work on my truck just got done taking 4 hours to install the PacBrake 4k GSK on my truck. The truck revs extremely fast now and there is little to no smoke present while giving it some throttle. It is pretty amazing how quickly the old 12v revs now...however there is a...
