 Nothing pertaining to the problem that joe has with his cummings. But i was reminded of a story when they mentioned fumes in the intake. One of the guys that I chat with, was with the 444TC in Vietnam in there maint shed. He told me about painting trucks in the field. They would start the truck and use the truck air to run the paint gun. He then told me that you really had to pay attention to when you got around the right fender, that the intake would suck the paint in and you would usually get a rise in RPM.
