Hey guys I am new to the site and I have a gov spring issue. I noticed on my pump the large outer idle spring had one large flat washer under one side but the opposite side had one large flat plus a very narrow large flat washer (big hole in the middle). The truck seems to idle perfectly. Should I start over and re-shim the idle springs? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. The tech info on here is killer by the way!!

the factory uses shims to even the springs out.if you buy a 3 gsk or a 4 gsk they tell you not to put the shims back in. they are only there becuse the factory springs where not the right spring rate.

Thanks for quick reply. I am refering to the large outer idle spring shims. I removed all the inner ones for the springs that were replaced. My concern is that the count was different 2 on one side vs 1 on the other.

Thanks
