3k govenor springs

I did mine, first timer, took me less than an hour. Most of the time was spent getting other stuff out of the way so I could get at the plug. I did mine through the side. VERY easy. Not at all as bad as it seemed from the pictures and warnings. Just have a good pencil magnet handy. Everything lifts out simple.

I haven't heard where there wasn't any shims but I know myself and others have found that there was one side that had less than the other side. Freaked me out when I seen this, I thought had dropped a shim. Found out I wasn't the first one this happened to.

I believe most governor spring kits will have better matching springs most of the time. I know of one diesel shop that measures spring height to get the springs as closely matched before installing. Only real world driving will let you know how close the spring are matched.
If I am thinking wrong here some one please chime in.
