Some friends from Cedar City Diesel installed the baby spring into the exsisting 3K GSK I already had yesterday. However we could not get the thing dialed in for nothing!

When they first started it it would rev to 4K fine, but hang @ 2K RPMs when throttle was let off of. We worked with it and worked with it trying taking clicks out and putting clicks in. They finally got it where it would idle around 1,000RPMS but if you go drive it or move it as soon as you try to return it to idle it just idles down and dies.

I myself am working on it now and I tried putting in an additional click after someone told me the idle spring may not be tight enough. When I started it it was at like 1300-1400 RPM idle. I got out adjusted the idle down some and started it back up and it was at 500RPM. Giving it a light amount of throttle it shot back up to 1500RPM's and sticks there again!!

HELP!

 

35 views and no replies. Gee why did I bother.

Well if any of y'all actually care I got tired of fighting it, I took the 4K GSK baby spring back out. Truck idles and runs great now (had to adjust idle), but now it will only reach 3200 RPM with my foot on the floor. Before it would do 4000RPM 1/2 way to the floor, but it had the OEM baby spring in there before we swapped. I guess I need to get those back, throw them back in and tighten them down for sled pulling.

I'm calling Piers tomorrow.

 

Ok, here's my reply........I have no knowledge of the subject, therefore I cannot discuss it intelligently.

 

yeah, sorry man, but i have no clue about that. i know how it feels to not know something or how to fix it....

 

I talked with Piers today for a little bit. We came to the conclusion that whoever the previous owner had work on the truck just tightened the OEM Gov. Springs down and told him they installed a kit.

So now I get to spend $125 for a 3K GSK tomorrow, I already have the HD valve springs, and the HD baby springs for 4K GSK were given to me.

 

Piers probably mentioned it, but any shims in there that your not aware of???

 

That's one of the biggest nightmares for a mechanic, working on a rig after someone else has.
