It is so easy to remove and inspect the inside of the tube, I would not try welding in place. I would only weld it if it was determined to be just and inclusion in the metal and not from corrosion. Its probably not a cheap piece of pipe but replacement would be the best and safest option. I would only use the tape to get me back home.
Carpe Diem
Thanks CD.
I agree new pipe is best/safest. Waiting to hear how much a new pipe will be, couldn't find it on the cummins parts site.
FWIW, this is the tape I used and it worked wonders!
