Hey there Joe, Thanks a lot for your input Joe. Like I said, I was a gassed type guy with Toyota trucks, but it became clear that a larger truck with greater power was necessary to fulfill my needs so I went with Cummins 2 gens as to I founded them to be the most reliable diesel trucks out there...

Thanks for your input Poirier, i have not devoted too much time on the possibilities of a vacuum issue since all my vacuum controlled components seem to operate fine. I switched oil brand five hundred miles ago, I switched to a non synthetic base oil, I would be posting here my results soon as...

The only problem thus far I have noticed with vacuum components is the cruise control. The cruise control light stays on all the time. It does not work either. I think my cruise control is a fly by wire, I could not locate any of the components such as the servi etc.. near the batteries.

Hello GAmes, I finally performed the 2000 rpm blowby test when I got back from work today, but could not duplicate the high volume of white haze coming from the breather tube. No oil discharge either, just slightly damped.

Hi fest3er, the 710 cap you referring to, where exactly is that cap located ? I might consider installing a Quart Breather made by Jaz Products, may be that would help. But again, I don't really have any obvious blowby (at least that I know of) I still have to perform the real manometer blowby...

Hi gtwitch, that same symptom you have is what I am experiencing. Except that I freak out when I see the oil level coming down too fast. I have been told by few members here that is a normal, and other that is not. So, I don't know what to make of it any more.

BoeingDiesel, I went ahead and checked the procedure you mentioned and no default was noted when I placed the A/C setting to floor. All positions checked Ok. fast3rd, You mentioned something about the 710 cap, you referring to the oil filler cap? or is it a cap somewhere else in the valve...

Update guys, I have attached a video taken this afternoon checking for blowby by using the kettle cup test.

BoeingDiesel, when I conducted my oil change bout 1.8K ago, I have used about 12 quarts. That put me all way up to the full mark. Then shortly after, I started to noticed that the level was significantly coming down to the point of almost 1/4" above the ADD mark. Refilled it with 2 more quarts.

An update guys, Just finished pulling the outlet, inlet and inter cooler turbo pipes and all them checked ok. No sign of oil puddle in any of the aforementioned. gtwitch, yes I have filled my oil up to the full mark exactly. I just do not know if that is a normal thing for this type of engines...

Hi Croyle, your suggestion about removing the the main turbo hose that goes to the inter-cooler inlet connection is a procedure I have not yet completed. It is worth the shoot as GAmes has also suggested it. In addition, the exhaust down pipe will be remove to completely discard the Turbo as a...

Hi Boeing Diesel, the tea kettle test come out Ok. I checked at normal operating temperatures and the oil filler cap stays steady. As far as millage, everything on the carfax matched with what was on the odometer. It had exactly 79,534 miles, two owners before me. I have also thought that the...

Hello GAmes, thank you for your evaluation. Now, far as oil leaks are concerned there is no obvious seepage nor large oil leaks that I can see. Front and rear main seals, valve cover, turbo return hoses, all are bone dry. For clarification, what does KDP stands for? I regards to oil brands, I...

Hello, I’m running a stage 2 Afe air intake system. I wish I had known the prior owner, I bought this truck from a local mom and pop dealership who sells 1st and 2nd gen Rams.

Hello guys, my name is Thomas, I’m new to this website and forum for 2 generation Rams. I’m writing you guys today for an expertise advice, and hopefully, help me resolve this issue I’m finding myself with my Ram. Not too long ago, I bought this Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins with only 81K. The...
