This is my first Cummins and I'm pretty new to diesel's in general. I just bought this truck a week ago and as I was looking it over I noticed some things that looked out of place. Hopefully you guys can help me figure them out.

This first picture is right after the turbo. There is some sort of hardline that looks like it's been kinked shut.

The 2nd picture is of the downpipe after the turbo. There's some kind of hole in the pipe that I'm not sure belongs there.

3rd pic shows what I believe to be a line that is supposed to go to a boost gauge. The line goes through the firewall and into the cab, but is left open at the end.

The 4th and final pic is another hardline. It's right near the injector lines where they go into the injectors. It looks like there is supposed to be something connected to it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hole after turbo looks to be a spot for EGT gauge sender:thumbsup:

i got no idea of what the line around the injectors is though...:confused013:

3rd pic is a boost but i'm not sure on the rest

The first one looks to be the line that controls the wastegate on the turbo. The second one looks like a hole for a pyro probe and not sure about the other. :thumbsup:

it looks like somebody crimped the waste gate to get a little more boost i bet it had gauges at one point in time

i would also bet its got fuel plate mods if you get a chance check out the afc housing on the top of the pump and look to see if its been messed with if has you should see to scrws that look the same on the bottom and probly to odd ball screws on the top

First is for your wastegate, second has got to be a pyro tap, third is for a boost gauge, the fourth has me stumped though

I think the fourth is line that is supposed to go to the back of the AFC housing. But don't quote me on that. The rest are as listed above.
1. boost line to waste gate (done to prevent it from opening)
2. Pyro hole for egt temp guage. (should have been put in before the turbo to get better readings.)
3. Boost guage line. You should be hearing is hiss as you drive the truck. Source of boost leak.

Would the boost leak coming from that small hose be enough to cause a noticeable loss of performance?

how much did they pay you to haul it off for them?

I paid $1600 :confused013:. The body has some rust but it starts right up and runs pretty well. Just has a few issues that need to be sorted out.

not to bad of a deal... try and get another picture of the 4th one from a different angle

Where does the 4th line go, it looks like it crosses back over to the driver's side of the engine...

Would be pretty easy to stick some gauges in there now.. pyro hole should already be tapped and boost line is already ran into the cab

4th pic looks like someone took another stab at disabling the waste gate.. Not sure why that line is there though. Better/more pics would help!

Looks like someone had a hayday with that thing.... Hacked the hell out of it!

1)Wastegate disabled the redneck way
2)pyro tap
3)boost gauge line
4) not a f'n clue, got any better pics or where that line runs to?

Looks like someone did a hack job of stripping the modifications off it.
No big deal they're all easy to fix.

if they did such a great job disabling the gate and yanking the gauges off of it, I'm sure they maintained the rest of the truck perfectly

My thoughts exactly!

4rth line is the other end of the wastegate tube, can see it bent over back where it is supposed to cross thru the valve covers.

It looks like you have an exhaust leak at the clamp also.
