So this question maybe be dumb but im learning what exactly will grinding down or removing the AFC FOOT/LEVER do? is it worth to do? if so how hard is it to do and does anyone have any pictures?
Thanks Spencer

If you take it out, it basically disables the fuel cone, giving full fuel all the time.

and waht would grinding it down do?

[IowaCummins]

same thing as taking it out but grinding it down eliminates the chance of re installing it later on down the road. i mean you can weld back material but thats just alot of time and paitence.

DO NOT GRIND IT!!!! That's just the lazy method of taking it out but it ensures that you'll never be able to put it back in. Do it right the first time...it only takes an extra 10 minutes to remove it and put some set screws in the retainer holes. Prior to installing my 6x18's I ran no AFC and I liked it. My truck did NOT like the lack of an AFC once the firehose injectors went in. Had I ground the lever I would have had to source a new one.

Does any one have a link or a picture of how to remove it?

Just follow the instructions for the 366 spring install. When the pump top is off you just tap out both retainer balls on either side of the shaft that the AFC lever rides on. Run a 1/4-20 tap in both holes, clean. Reinsert the shaft with the AFC on it (obviously), put a SMALL dab of RTV in the holes, run your two set screws in tight. Re-assemble your pump (hopefully with the 366 spring instead of the stocker), and you're done.

Each ball has to come out it's own side. Drive from one side until the opposite ball falls out, then drive from that side to remove the 2nd one. The holes are stepped inside.

I meant that....sorry! I always assume other people know what I'm saying.

im bringing this post back from the dead...

my questions:

1) when disabeling the afc what is actually removed?

2) does the afc pin stay or go? (what does one replace it with if so?)

3)does the whole afc lever get removed?

4)will my cable shut off still work?

5) what gets tapped with 1/4-20 thread?(im guessing the thread replaces the balls that hold the afc lever pivot pin..but why not just replace the balls?)...

6) does the refrigerator light stay on when I close the door?

seems like im doomed to be eternally confused as to how to remove the afc, im thinking im gona rip it apart to get a better understaning, but I definitly want to do it so I can replace it if smoke is heavy.

I might clip my 366 spring while im in there to get a few more revs...any advice on that?

It will be smoky if, er I mean when, you mash on it. You will notice a drop in MPG, people saying you're #1, people flagging you down to say something is wrong with your truck, and that you spend a lot more time looking in the passenger side mirror.....
