and why was the exhaust manifold cracked? . That does not sound right either.

I bought the truck out of BC, it was a repo and deleted when I bought it. I don't know who did the work, but I suspect it wasn't good. The turbo and exhaust manifold were junk because it was making too much heat, as I've learned from this forum, is a classic junk delete symptom. The rebuilder put it on the dyno after they finished the overhaul, and they advised that the programming was no good. They reprogrammed it, and installed a pyro, and it runs much cooler now. I never see the exhaust temps much over 500F. mostly 400-500. The manifold and turbo show no signs of overheating now.

I've had Uni and Mommaburt do some work on my other DD15's but I assume they're no longer available. I know this is a Cummins forum, but is there anyone else on here that could look at the programming for me? I do have Detroit software and Neqix adapter. Uni said there was some other equipment i needed to pull the file for him to look at? I can't remember what he called it. I'd like to have it checked out before I tear up my Expensive rebuild. I don't totally trust the programming, just because i think it was from Diesel Sp** and I don't think Rawze is a big fan of theirs either. And i know better than to say, "But the engine is running so good"!!! lol. I appreciate the knowledge here, and all the guys willing to help out.

maybe try to get a hold of one of them.. otherwise, I have no advice for ya on detroits.
