The governor spring "is" the rev limiter.

 

*insert sarcasm* gas... Diesel... It's all the same... It all rotates doesn't it? Hahaha. But at any rate, any engine is capable of turning itself inside out. You go above it's limits, it's not a question of if it'll fail but when. Do your homework and supporting mods and you greatly increase the probability of the truck staying together.

I have this excellent mod called a tach. Works on any motor regardless of fuel type. Keep it under three grand and it's all good.

 

Good luck, I hope you don't ever break a driveshaft or u-joint.

 

I agree. I've never hit the fuel shut off in my truck even when i'm racing a buddy or doing donuts in the snow. It's called a throttle and a tach, and when you use them at the same time you get pretty good results

 

Feel for you !! Had the same thing happen to mine. The shop gave me about 5lbs of dead & broken parts back after the rebuild. I don't mess with the pump any more.... (but it goes like stink so I don't really have too )

I'd be curious to the cost, mine was about $1300Cnd plus another $100 or so to have it timed after I reinstalled the pump.
