    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 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:biggrin_25514:

    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
