I do not have specific feedback on those engines but diesels in general need to hit WOT plus 5% to keep them healthy. The fact that they wont reach WOT would concern me as well as how long has the issue been around? If the current owners were running it overloaded for a long time, there could be serious issues looming. Get a Cummins tech to do a complete work up on the engines. 200 RPMs down in a diesel is a lot...
