    well i wanted to mess with my pump as it appears to be all stock looking as it has all plugs,caps and covers still on it, but i wouldnt know for sure. ive read the write up on turning it up 2 ways.

    i want to do it the way that i will get the more noticable improvement. Right now the truck hardly burns any fuel at idle when reved or pulling period she will put out a good puff on hard pulls or WOT, or if shifted to early but no where neat what my other 7FB 3406b cat did.

    im unsure if i have a b or c model pump as it has a sensor looking thing behind pump with two wires then it has another larger solenoid looking thing with wires going to it as well like 2 of them.

    underneath this piece theres a funny shaped plate with 2 bolts holding it to the back of the pump. are the adjustments screws in there?

    i will post pics you tell me were to start

    i know i can do this myself just need a lil guidance. my current EX temps are low and always stay low, since i dont leave the state of FL there arent any major grades i hardly pass 650-700 on long hard pulls

    this is my pump

    and i think this is the part that has to come off and have me push in correct?it has a hard line going to it which goes to the intake manifold? the one on the top.

    If its original motor its should be a B/C and if it has air to air its a B/C. The sensor with the 2 wires is the jake brake shut off switch the solenoid above it is the shut off valve and above it is the AFRC, which is where you can control the amount of smoke it dumps out. The goofy S looking plate at teh bottom of the pump is where the screws are to turn the motor up.

    hey les thanks for chiming in so in my 3rd pic there are two solenoid looking things is it the top one that has the hard line going from it to intake manifold or is it the one underneath it which has the 2 wires going to it?

    so in the 2nd pic the plate below the AFRC is what has to come off for me to adjust the 2 screws?

    The AFRC is the one on top with the hard line running to the back of it. The fuel screws are behind that plate at the bottom of the pump in behind the frame rail. Its the one covered in oil with the bolt one above the other.

    Hey Tony..............................................

    He's the guy you need to talk with, he showed/talked me thru alot of stuff I did. He talked me thru tearing apart the back of the fuel pump over the phone and putting it back together. It was like he was standing there watching me do it too!

    He goes by "ynot" but I don't think he surfs the forums much anymore.

    Like that article said, if you're pulling up to 21 lbs of boost its stock. I'd only go 3 turns at first and run it a day.
