Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Fuel Plate Laying in the weeds

[DieselMinded]

I Know nothing about the Pre VP44 era ... .



But Ive heard of grinding the fuel plate , no. 2 fuel plate , Sliding the fuel plate back and all that jazz .....



A friend of mine just Completly removed his fuel plate.



Is that normal ???



I suppose EGT would have to be over the roof... . ?



Is this guy nuts??

It seems the same folks who boast of running without a plate are the same ones complaining of a broken injection pump a few months later. Without a plate the rack stop pin can break off, a $1200 repair.
