Awesome videos! When you add the fuel pin and governor spring, how does it affect your mpg? Thanks for the videos

I bought a used ve. Pump for my dads 93. It had a fuel pin and a 3200 gev spring. But when i fired it up it ran away any idea what would cause that ?

@@phonypony5.0 back the full power screw out until it won't start, then turn the full power screw in one turn at a time seeing if it will start. Get it to where it will start but doesn't run away. Make sense?

@@decentgarage yeah it does ...just have to sneak up on the adjustment cool thanks btw found your vid from LOUD & Proud 1st gen vid with the fuel pin ..great vids keep it up man !

@@phonypony5.0 thanks!

Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions with the gov spring. Just take your time, it's not that bad to do.

Definitely do this and definitely get The Hungry Diesel fuel pin. It truly is the best pin out there.

Im trying to order one and it says governor spring required but i didnt see you change that in the video unless i missed it. Did you change it or left the stock one?

@@eulaliolopezjr go to the my other videos and the one right before this one is how to do the governor spring. The gov spring is only 20 bucks and is a huge upgrade so definitely do that too

@@decentgarage ill do that thanks

Luckily since this video I've gotten some 👍

You will be totally fine with the fuel pin. I would also recommend a governor spring. I lived in a Alaska for a few years with this truck and pulled a 5th wheel all over the state with my stock auto trans and didn't have any issues. Just don't pull hills in OD and monitor your trans temps and you'll be fine. I'd also recommend the basic band adjustments on the trans.

Glad to help

Definitely adjust the starwheel first. Rotate it counter clockwise which raises it up and increases pressure on the diaphragm. My got to starting setting for the star wheel is to bottom it out and then back it out 2 full rotations.

@@decentgarage Thanks Tim, I'll give that a try!

@@decentgarage Ok, I turned the starwheel up one turn from stock (two turns up from being bottomed out), and the high-rpm smoke was gone. Trouble is, so was my low-end power. So I kept turning it back down toward the stock position a little at a time, and now I'm at 1/8th of a turn up from stock and it's pretty good. Not quite as much low-end power as I was getting with it in the stock position, but I'm not getting any of that high-rpm smoke either. I am getting a puff of black smoke in the mid-rpm range, but it's short-lived. And after watching a video from my rear-facing dashcam from a while ago, apparently it had been doing that before I ever messed with the pump anyway. I guess I just never noticed it before. Next, I'm going to turn the starwheel back to the stock setting and turn the max fuel screw back a little to see what that does. I'll come back to report results. Might be a few days - too much rain today.

So I backed the fuel screw out about a quarter to half a turn and put the starwheel back to the stock position, and knew when it started up that that was never going to work. Completely gutless. So I turned the fuel screw in to just about 1/8th of a turn in from stock, put the starwheel to 1/8th of a turn counterclockwise from stock and turned the smoke screw in 1-1/2 turns from the point where it's flush with the cap and it's running great now. No smoke either. Also installed the manual shutoff cable and brass-tipped FSS plunger. Next projects - replace window scrapers, check backup light switch and troubleshoot lack of message center lights.

Yeah, get yourself a manual impact driver. A gentle tap from a hammer with rotate the bit while also providing downward force and should break them loose.

@@decentgarage took a little doing, was concerned I would break something but thank you...screws came loose. Stock fuel pin was found and I’m waiting on THD fuel pin, 3200 spring and lift pump....thanks for your videos.

It should go in just like this pin 👍

I didn't, my preference is to leave the smoke screw and bottom it the start wheel but then bring it up 2 turns. I may dig in to modifying it more later this year.

Thanks!

Back the idle screw off a little or change the indexing on the throttle lever

I haven't encountered that but I've heard it's an easy fix. The slide pin oring is probably bad and needs replaced 👍

@@decentgarage does your hungry diesel vendor have this?

@@jonmcginty1575 yes, he has anything youd need for a ve pump 👍

Making these changes will only improve fuel economy. It improves the fueling efficiency of the injection pump. Now, it does make the truck feel more peppy so if you don't have good self-control with your right foot fuel efficiency may suffer haha

Did you take out the little white plastic spacer?

Yup sure did still no luck would hardly make 10 pounds of boost as well I put the stock pin back in and it runs just fine but I’d like to be able to run my new pin

@@Ken-jt7ee interesting. Do you have the notch in the fuel pin pointed toward the front of the engine?

Yes sir followed you’re video step by step but still no lower end power. Could it be possible I need to adjust the pump to the pin?

@@Ken-jt7ee I've never heard of having to adjust anything after just adding a pin. You still have the spring around the pin?

That's called your slide pin. It's very common for the slide pin oring to dry out and cause the pin to stick. It's fairly easy to replace the oring. I don't have a video on that but if you Google it you'll find some how tos

@@decentgarage would this make it to where the truck will idle normal but won’t take acceleration or could that be something else

@@outdoorlifestyle9468 yes, if the slide pin doesnt move it can cause that.

I've had a few people ask that and I'm not sure. I would guess water got in somehow but I'm not sure how it found its way in.

@@decentgarage that makes sense. Thank you for your response

He sales it as a combo for certain sales throughout the year. For now your just have to throw them both in the shopping cart and use the promo code 👍

Pull it apart and double check everything. I know you don't want to hear that but it is honestly the best way to proceed. Did you make sure to back the fuel screw out so the fulcrum lever didn't break?

@@decentgarage yes i did

@@decentgarage so what should i check for since my water in fuel light is on?

@@arielsima6650 did you recently change your fuel filter? Make sure your water in fuel sensor is working properly. Does the truck run fine?

@@decentgarage yes the truck was running perfectly fine before i changed this. how do i make sure the water in fuel sensor is working and where is it? and i think it might of had a new filter.

No, it doesn't control the speedo at all

@@decentgarage I’ve been trying to figure out why my Speedo don’t work I’ve replaced both sensors and even tried a different speedo and still no work

@@Landon_Baker_productions have you replaced the gears in the vehicle speed sensor (vss)? In a 4wd it's on the driver side of the tcase, in a 2wd it's in the tail housing of the tranny.

@@decentgarage no I have not but will look into it, thank you sir

@@decentgarage can you make a tutorial vid on that kinda

He literally says in the video that he doesn’t want to install the “stage 5” fuel din that dumps a lot of heavy smoke .

They do not have to be done together. Doing just the pin is fine

@@decentgarage Thanks! Will smoke increase?

@@rwk3547 not if you only do the pin

Yes it does

Haha it is fun when fuel prices are half what they are now

Yeah, i won't be doing anymore 0-60 runs till probably 2024...

lol i dont blame ya there 😂 love your content man. 👍🏼

@@mentlegen8187 thanks!

No problem :D

You don’t want to roll coal

I don't cover that on this channel. Sorry.

@@tyashcraft9496 it’s something wrong with it?

@@nynoperales6521 fuel economy goes in the tank and you don’t maximize power

@@tyashcraft9496 ok thanks

Honestly an m&h stage is not good for much more than. Blowing black smoke. Get the THD pin or an m&h stage 3. I would also do a 3200 gov spring. Just those two mods will make a huge difference!

Agreed!
