I put im my # 10 today and it didnt make much more power?
I adjusted the afc's stuff and it helped, i get a little smoke off idle and a haze when the boost hits for a sec. thin nothing. It feels like 25-30 hp maybe. they said it would make a 80-125 hp increase on the 96 pump. ( stock)

i mover it all the was forways also.
any help?

How is the overflow valve? How is the lift pump? If you don't have fuel you won't make power.

Do you have a manual? If not, it's only supposed to add about 40 hp. Maybe you were expecting too much by a lot of people saying "WOW! What a huge difference it made!"

mike_ward

dont know about fuel pressure, didn't thank it was a issue in the 12 v
Its a manual.
I just kept seeing people talking about the black smoke that fogs out the intersection and what not, I would say 40 is all it did do.
I had to slide the plate in ( about the stock place) if not the arm would get stuck under it. should i try to adjust the gov arm and slide if all the way forwards? Would it make much of a difference?? The plate is setting ( about) in the middle,, maybe a hair toward the rear.
played with the afc till i was blue. make a little difference, It has to be all the way forwards to the extreme, the smoke bolt is all the way out.

I'd check the governor arm. My 100 is centered, and I didn't have to adjust it. But it seems to vary.

FP isn't much of an issue, but the overflow valve can fail, and that will limit fuel (power) avallable.

Note: My Bad Its A 100 Not A 10 Agian # 100

mike_ward

what is the over flow valve? did know about that one.

also is there a write up on how to adj the gov arm? I surched but didnt find any thing.

wcbcruzer

I don't know. Maybe you're slipping your clutch. A #100 plate on a 215 pump and stock clutch will hurt something. BTW, might want to check the CPL numbers on your engine just to be sure that you do actually have a 215 pump. See www.dodgeram.org for info on CPL.

mike_ward

NO the clutch is not slipping, its not near tat strong, Its stock 24 valve strong. NO joke, Its not very much more than it was when i put the plate in.
Yes the pump is the factory 215. that was one of the things i had to look up when i oredred the plate.
When i get it goin in 2 ( normal take off ) 2-3 mph i stomp it, A ( little ) black smoke, It quickly fades to nothing. Althought the bottome end tq 1200-2k is waked up a lot. just no big smoke or real 12 v power to speak of.

where's the over flow valve? thank it really could be starving it that bad?
also it it worth adj the gov to move the plate forwards, its a litle lsee than half way.

mike_ward

THanks wbbccruzer, i read that link, lots of good stuff there. Ill put a new valve on tomorrow.

mike_ward

can i pinch off the retun line for a short run down the road??
to see if that is the problem?? or will the pressure burst the line?ruin the pump?

displacedtexan

You can pinch the line for a short test run. I wouldn't run long like that without a FP gauge.

mike_ward

cool, thin its on!
KInda off subjeck but u know where any semi wheels are? yup fo rthe ramantor.

Also is the 99 powerstroke lug pattern 285.75mm the same as teh 96 1 ton dulleys?? I found a set for a power stoke, thats why i ask

kelownadiesel

are u running a boost elbow? you need a gsk as well

displacedtexan

No idea on the semi rims, never had the desire to do it to mine, so I've never looked.

The rims on your truck are 8 x 6.5, all 8 lug stuff is, except 99+ Fords.
