Consider it thickened.

Didn't realize the injection or vac pump was different from non ic to ic. Are there functional differences? I'm looking at this thing like someone scavenged it together from scratch one pick and pull at a time. A real you got peanut butter in my chocolate you got chocolate in my peanut butter situation.

The booster was the first suspect for me too-- but im pretty sure the booster is right. Certainly is one of the deepest ive seen.
With all the nonsense she still runs strong an clean (by diesel standards)... God bless America and god bless cummins.

Most consider the IC vacuum pump to be better since it's cheaper to rebuild and more durable.

My truck doesn't have its fan shroud either. It's sitting on a shelf in my shop though

Well. Tried getting Carl on the phone the last couple days to no avail. So in my impatience I hunted this:

Figure it will solve my problem--plus they'll tap it for a boost gauge for me and its shiny. Which I guess I like. We'll see how fast it turns black under the hood.

Ok that link up above is for a 12 valve 96 and up. Guy says it should fit. Looks like it will fit. And the port is where I need it. Anyone see any reason it won't do the job? I took measurements on mine and I'm waiting on confirmation that they match.

As far as I know all factory intercooled 12vs have the same plate, 1st and 2nd gen. That should be what you want since your 1st gen intake horn comes straight out.

You may want a confirmation on that though because I've never had both of them side by side.

I was pulling the tubes off mine last night and made a few observations,
Your booster is right, my '92 is the same. The opening in the plate should start at the back edge of the 2nd valve cover, and go back from there.

So I would have to say the plate is wrong.

I don't want to step out of line by asking here. But if you want to sell the non I/C plenum Tsapnin I would be interested. Might help off set some cost of getting what you need.

Am I wrong, or do you just flip the plate around?

RumbleFish I looked at that when I first figured out the difference. I will have to look again but I think there is a reason why it wont I just cant remember right now with out looking at it. Maybe someone can verify that.

You can't flip yours because the hole is dead in the middle, won't make a difference.

Just got things buttoned up under the hood. New stainless plenum worked out great. Ill post pictures tomorrow of the stock plate. I could have flipped it around. There are injection line clamp bracket mounting holes that would then be useless and on the wrong side of the plate. I opted for the stainless cause I'm figuring on hotrodding the thing a little and it's rated to some ridiculous psi--plus it's shiny. Only shiny thing under that hood.

Cwt ill send you the plate for 50 bucks. I haven't looked into the private message thing but ill shoot you one if I can figure it out.

Pictures tomorrow for ic and non ic comparison purposes.

That's good to hear. I believe you need 25 posts to do pm's
