rack plug question
so i bought the rack plug/mac plug whatever you guy prefer calling it and i am having a guy tell me not to run it, it can cause the shaft to stick and run away. Is that true and cant i just unscrew the old plug and slap the new one. which i did and i have the injection pump off of the truck

fact of the rack plug is that the barrels only can spin so far before they actually start de-fueling the opposite way. this is in the 19-20mm rack travel rhelm. a 2095 will allow for 21mm of travel so in some cases at WOT you can loose a little bit with a plug. as far as a runaway thats pretty crazy unless you have damaged barrels and plungers and they stick once they now rotate into an unworn area of the bores. super tight tolerences, metal to metal in the barrel and plunger assembly. so tight pressurized fuel cant pass through so if there is scoring you could stick a rack.

wow ... The 2095 plug is a great upgrade for these p pumps. If installed incorrectly yes the rack can hang and cause a runaway, this was pretty common when trying to shim the stock plug or trying to shim the 2095 plug. There is a rack guide behind the plug that is held into place with the rack plug. When shimmed it is allowed to move and could cause the rack to hang.
When installing the plug do not move the throttle with the plug out this will cause the guide to move or fall out, do not add any shims to the plug other than the one provided, and make sure the plug after tightened is tight with the housing like the old plug was. After install and everything is tight move the throttle back and forth a few times just to make sure everything is ok.
To make full use of the plug you will need the correct fuel plate and a modded afc
