Duct tape would hold 25 lbs of pressure for a while because of a fitting mismatch. If you don't have a problem they might even give you a refund if you haven't lost the receipt. I'd try it. 😄 Edited May 18, 2023 by Gary Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Shackelford Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Many thanks, When I tightened the clamp around the turbo it was loose. Had to make a few turns with the socket before it started to get tight. I am driving to Rock Springs, WY in the AM and we will see if I fixed the issue.

Dave You likely have a small tube connected on the turbo air outlet to measure the boost pressure. Make sure that tube is still attached and isn't melted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Shackelford Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 Anyone know where i can buy a head for a 2005 ILS 400 8.9 L Cummins ? I think I saw a thread somewhere that listed places to buy these ? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Davis Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 What happened Dave? How did you go from an inop gauge to needing a head? Where are you now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Shackelford Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 You may have me confused with someone else on the inop guage. My original issue was loss of Turbo boost. That turned out to be a broken exhaust manifold bolt. Upon further review, we also discovered a cracked head 😞 Have now ordered everything thru Cummins 😞 $8K 😞 😞 😞 Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
