Quick question on the VC gasket

Parts stores have with or without harness options but I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recomend just changing the whole assembly. I've change so many of these its scary and from experience cheap gets you exactly what you paid for. NAPA ones are the best I've found, even better than my IH dirrect ones. If you wanna do it again in 10K auto zone / Advance Auto ones will be half the price.
As for shim mods, IMHO, at pure concept wedging something in to tighten a worn connector just doesn't seem logical no matter how you spin it. Now for sciency part the lowered connection patch in the connector increases frequency degradation, increase connector heat from the decrease path size, and thus deduces injector response, same as running cheap small wired harnesses

Never implied that it doesn't work, actually works quite well to get the truck running, just stating that a cheap fix gets cheap results. When everybody is looking for max power and max mileage, decreasing signal clarity to the injectors is not what you want. Doesnt take many gallons of diesel at 4.50/gal to buy a set of harnesses.
