Like I said earlier, I had a 5 plate in my truck for around a year and my 47RH held up and never gave me an ounce of trouble. How you drive is the ultimate factor in what will and won't work with a stock engine/tranny

 

I've got 40k on my 0 with 250888 on the stock 47rh and I beat the tar out of it hahaha but I'm puttin an nv4500 in soon

 

i've got a 0 in my '97 with no trans problems drive with some sense and you're trans will live drive like a jackass and it'll die out quick

 

i got a #100 plate and i drive like a jackass ive had it now for a couple of months and now my tranny slips between 3rd and fourth

 

No offense but theirs the two examples on what a fuel plate will do to a stock tranny. You baby it it'll last, you drive it hard and to the limit your going to run into problems... Acourse even babying will eventually lead to a problem but it'll give you more time before the problems arise.

 

i just bought a 95 cummins it has 370 marine injectors straight pipe banks twin ram air intake bhaf air filter i want to grind the stock fuel plate down to either a 0 or a 5 which will make better power and smoke a little more this truck isnt my daily so when i take it out i want to create havick with a little coal haha will this kill my clutch i dont drive like an ******* and beat the **** out of my truck either so i just want to make sure that if i go easy on it im still not gonna kill it the clutch has 1500 miles on it so i dont want to kill a brand new clutch

 

I just put in a #10 plate. I have plenty of power to do what I need, and I can slide it back if it has more power then I need, and if I jump on it towing my 11,000 lb. 5th wheel I won't blow my clutch. I just didn't need any more power then the #10 plate would jive me. It all depends on what your needs are and what you want your truck to do.
