I have seen guys put air 2 air on them. If it has air 2 air, he may have a coupler ripped. That may be why or he may not be getting enough fuel. He may need seals in his pump. It may just be the pyrometer. I was trying to cover all the bases.

No, he didn't post any other problem. I suggesting other problems that can make your pyrometer read low, just in case it's not the pyrometer.

I'd kill for a 444. Oh and you can't just "pump up" a cummins without wearing out the cam lobes because of the increased preure. the cummins is a PT pump. unlike the cat which pumps a set amount to each injector at the precise time, the cummins pump build preure then the injectors are fired off the cam. If you turn the pump up it dramatically increases the seat presure unless you also have the injectors opened up.
I was just usin "pumped up" as a figure of speech brother. But I do understand where you're comin from. What I guess I was gettin at is the ol girl's got more than plenty of ponies. I haul rock, asphalt, and a little dirt, usually right at 105,500 over the hills and dales here in beautiful state ORYGUN. So trust me I say it runs pretty hardy, and they built this motor right, I didn't just throw a different button in the pump. But Thanks for you information

I wasn't bashing you. Just hate to see someone mess up the motor. I've only know cats in the past. This is my first cummins. I want to find another block and start building a 800 to 1000 hp motor to swap in. 350 just doesn't cut it
