You sur eyour pumps stock? All pumps should of had some sort of shim or another unless someones already been into it. Did it have the wire on it? Anyway just put your springs in. Less work for you

I just installed the 3k portion of the 4k kit from Pacbrake. One side of the governor just had the 2 wear shims on the backside of the idle spring, the other side of the governor had one shim for the smallest spring and the 2 wear shims behind the idle spring. Made me nervous so I made a phone call. Remember the governor has to be balanced and each one maybe setup differently as far as shim count goes.
