Well, I've had a few days to drive around with the new governor diaphragm, and it feels like a new truck. I've gained a full gear speed on most of the hills around here - meaning hills that I used to gear down to 3rd to climb, I'm now doing in 4th. And I'm even staying in 5th for some uphill grades - which was unthinkable before.

No black smoke either.

If your truck feels wimpy in the 1800 to 1200 rpm range, and you've never touched the diaphragm - it might be time!
