Josh thanks for the kind words and it was a pleasure doing the work. Like I said we'll have to get together later and get some more out of that magic little screw .

Where to get one?

Where can you get a 3200 spring? I'm thinking I need one, now that I have the fuel...

ANY truck can benefit from the 3200 spring, regardless of fuel. To answer your question, any BOSCH dealer can get you the spring provided the part number.

If you go to a pump shop, just give them the part number,. Don't explain what you are doing. When I tried to tell them what is was, they replied with a reaffiriming "huh?".

I like the way the rear end actually picks up when he gets on it.

I finally got my spring installed. Is it normal to gain 15lbs boost and a lot more power? The fuel pin is froze, I couldn't get it to move any. It also raised the idle 200 rpms with the idle screw set the same way as before. The engine will "runaway" now but I can't back the fuel screw out any cuz its stuck. Thanks, Alonzo

Sounds like you ran the power screw in a little further when you put everything back together.

Thats what it feels like, but the power screw is froze in the pump. I couldn't move it in or out. It looks like somebody used thread locker on it.

Then you have the throttle shaft clocked a tooth off. I say grind down the idle screw until it idles right.
