Is this picture the exhaust back pressure sensor pipe?(somehow the picture got turned sideways?) if it is does anyone have any idea's how to get the fitting out of the exhaust manifold? Looks like someone tried to get it out before because it's kinda boogered up. I wasn't able to get it loose and I'm pretty sure it's gonna end up rounded off if I keep trying. Should I cut the pipe and try to get it out with a socket then just buy a new pipe from cummins ? maybe heat the manifold with a torch?

As Rawze pointed out before, remove exhaust temp sensor, replug it while it is off, start the engine, put your hand over the sensor hole,feel for exhaust flowing from the pipe and hole. If you feel "air" exiting then your pipe is not plugged, move on.

you can commit to getting someone like unilevers to reprogram your ecm, if so give your valve a good cleaning, re-install, put a blocking plate in bellows pipe next to your valve, another in your ecm pipe at intake manifold, replace 3 aforementioned sensors, get a pyrometer if you don't already have one, and voila! Bob's your uncle.

Also,a temporary cheap option is to button everything up again, then unplug #10 sensor on previous diagram. It is located under fuel filter on ecm pipe. But you will have a check engine light. After you unplug it, you need to key on and off twice.

YES (while I was slowly formulating my answer, Rawze beat me to the punch). I finally find a question that I can answer and this happens!
