Yea... that post makes no since. It hurts nothing to run without a plate and it hurts nothing to grind your own plate. Buying a plate is like throwing money away.

 

Alright guys after doing some more research i think I have found the end all be all of no plate threads.....this guy has it together:

Running No Plate - Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum

That was probably the most helpful ppump thread of how it works I have ever read.....I like seeing things

Anyway thanks for the replies and hope this can help someone,
Justin
