Default Cummins castration

As some will recall from my air to water intercooler post, I'm going to be hauling my life in a box behind the truck soon. Because of my EGTs, I determined I'd have to de-fuel the truck... Today was that day i didnt remove both *********, ol' lefty is still hang in there strong. can't complain, hold it to the floor and the s300 still cranks out 38-40 psi and it'll scoot up to 85 before 1400* on the pyro. Down to about 850* cruising. This is pre turbo egt's before anyone post something freaking out about 1400* post turbo temps.

Yea, that's empty. But my 4wd is locked in constantly, hoping I tow before the roads turn to crap so I can unlock the hubs. I was boring on it pretty good to see 1400, it'll just be a matter of keeping my foot off the floor... I couldn't bring myself to turn the screw out any more... No AFC and 4200 gov spring ... I know it wouldn't have been good to tow with the pump cranked. Trust me, I'll be reattaching the right nut when I'm done towing
