Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Plate forward(ITS A DOG)

[JamieWood]

Well I put the #6 plate in last week had it set almost all the way back so i decided to see how much more HP i could squeeze out of it. I slid it all the way forward,gatit together started it up and let it idle for a sec. then it died, so i took it for a drive went about a mile and it was a dog. It was like it was being drownd with fuel. What is yalls opinion on this. Thanks

If anything

Try this http://piersdiesel.com/TechLeverAdj.htm Sounds like maybe the Govener arm is going under the plate? Something to look at anyways.

Also, make sure the AFC housing is full forward as well. I forgot to check mine, when I slid my plate. Could barely tell a difference in power at all. Checked the housing, and it was full back. Slid it all the way forward again, found the power.

Follow the instructions in the above link and do the Gov. arm adjustment if you want to run the #6 full fwd.



The #6 plate is notorious for the arm going under at full fwd.
