Nice made it look easy.

I had to cut the frame of the cover on both sides of the center screw. And drill 2 rivets out. this allowed me to squeeze it enough to get through door frame. then welded it back together after putting in new motor and reinstalling. Stainless rivets. I have a 2006 Camelot PDQ

Not used to this site so I don't know if I replied but here is what my third mechanic found out by road testing with someone watching the engine from the bedroom. The COBRA elbow reducer collapsed when starting fast. this 5x4 reducer goes from the inlet air hose to the Turbocharger. Donaldson P 600327 is the part number. They took the inlet hose to the air filter off and it did not collapse. The extra draw of 6 foot hose up to the outside intake screen area was enough to collapse it. I am changing this elbow this week. Just to let everyone know. I appreciate all the knowledge. I did not know about oiling the exhaust break and now will do regularly with the correct oil. Ray Davis if this doesn't do it your suggestion is next.

So I follow several forums since I bought my Camelot. One of the of the rules in this site is you can't share information with other sites. Does that mean if I solved a problem no one else has seen and share it here it becomes your property?

The Cummins Mobile tech hooked up back at the engine. Did a turbo load test, engine diagnostic test said performance of all cylinders was SAT, Injectors were SAT, no codes showed up. The 1st mechanic found a ASB sensor code and I got that dash light but it went away. I did flip the exhaust brake switch back and forth it did not have an effect. Right now I am leaning towards the gas pedal but at 600 bucks I'm looking for a way to test it. I forgot to say this is a 400 - ISL my boost is normal when I get up to speed. 27 or so

Just completed a 1600 mile round trip.About 700 miles in I tried accelerating on to I 10 went into limp mode. No check engine lights. Learned if I baby the gas I can get to a shop. Shop checked no engine codes. Drove to my destination 60 miles away. Went in limp mode several times. If I baby the throttle I can get to and maintain 65mph. It maintains speed with cruise on. If i am going any speed and mash the gas black smoke and limp mode no warning lights.Had a Cummins rep check 400 miles after first mechanic. Still no codes. I have changed fuel filters, air filter, crankcase filters. I am leaning towards accelerator. Has any one had this issue?
