Hello I just joined this forum today because after 23 years I finally decided to work on my Dodge and after doing so I come up with a fuel leak at the pump it's dripping fuel out of the vent , I bought this truck new in June of 1990 it has 130,000 miles I've never used it much but for the last four years I've been hauling wood , well actually logs on a 25 foot gooseneck trailer from where I work it's about 70 miles and about 3000to 3500 foot climb not big deal but when you got agreed for would you tend to find yourself overloading a little bit, so is what I've done I called Gillett diesel in Utah very helpful very friendly people and they set me up with their fuel pan and 3200 RPM Gov. spring and also I changed the rear part of the Turbo from 18 to 16 mm I upgraded the compressor side from a 50 mm to a 60 mm I also put on a 4 inch exhaust from the Turbo back I screwed in the power screw about a turn and a half I did not want to take a chance on a runaway, things I still need to do is modify my intake manifold which is only 2 inch I think because the new Turbo is two and half and it's real restricted right there you can hear it, and fix my fuel leak ha ha

I have been around diesels most of my life from the farm tractors to the cross-country trucks still have one old Peterbilt left over that I made into my little hot rod I will try to get some pics of it, it started life with a 318Detroit I made some motor mounts and stuck in a humming Cummins
