Matt, I know all about that, and am going to slide the plate forward, and adjust the Star wheel, but I'm not going to grind the plate or buy one because I'm not messing with buying any gauges. I've been doing tons of reading and watching Youtube videos on how to tweak it. I also joined several diesel forums to read up on it and everywhere I've read they say to be real careful or you'll get your EGT up too high and start thrashing stuff. I'm still gonna drive it like an old man but when I'm running down the highway and some Yuppie in a rice burner or Prius gets in my way I want to just be able to mash it and smoke his tail into the ditch and run off and leave him, more so that now. I'm not too worried about the tranny at this point as I ain't no hot rodder and will always be gentle on it as I intend to hit 500,000 miles before I have to rebuild this one. I may work on it some this weekend and I'm quite mechanically inclined but I'm just afraid I don't know enough about to truly tune it correctly so as not to screw too much up.
Bayin man, I replied to your PM and that one should say on the box it's for a 1998.5 to 2000, and that is for the 24V. 1998 and down is the 12V, the good un.
