Cosmo, I think you have your oils reversed. CI was the excellent oil, CJ is required on the latest engines.

eh. It was late, but you're correct.



CI-4+ = good

CJ-4 = bad.

 

[Cosmo]

I think you are grossly exaggerating and misinterpreting many of your asssertions.



I trust Cummins, Inc. a lot more than website engineers with "better ideas and understanding. "



My EGR was clean as a whistle at about 70 to 75k miles. Some of the fuel dilution reported by members is probably caused by incomplete crankcase oil drain when changing oil and exaggerated by short trip grocery getting duty for the truck.



I don't remember noticing a change in the service life to overhaul claimed by Cummins for the ISB6. 7 engine compared to the ISB5. 9.



Are you another 5. 9 owner criticising the 6. 7 without owning one?

Oil dilution is caused by not draining the oil?



No. Oil dilution is caused by fuel getting into the oil. There are those who didn't drain their oil and found their crank cases over-filled, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the guys who took samples and had them tested, with fuel concentrations of 20%+ returned on their analysis.



Am I another 5. 9 owner? No, I'm a 6. 7 owner who actually opened their intake manifold up and saw the result of 45k miles of EGR - between 2-5 mm of carbon buildup EVERYWHERE in the intake tract. It took about 15 cans of throttle body cleaner and a bunch of scrubbing just to get the intake air horn clean.



Where on earth could this contamination come from? Carbon buildup is awesome, right? Makes things run well, makes them run longer.



Did I say that Cummins reduced their overhaul intervals? No. I haven't been able to find it printed anywhere. I'm sure the move to block casting in China helped though.







Let me ask you something. If the EPA says "you do these things or you don't sell engines" don't you think that the manufacturer is going to do whatever they're told, even if it's not in the best interests of their product and consumers?



Yeah, same with oil manufacturers. They claim the CJ oils are an improvement over the CI oils, but read between the lines. Who in their right mind would advertise "Our new oil isn't as good as our old oils, but this is what you get".



Do you know anything about the EGR and DPF systems?



You're lying through your teeth about your EGR being clean. It would be about as clean as the tailpipe on a pre-DPF truck at the very best.

Cosmo,

You are simply an ignorant man. In a group where particants actually met face to face instead of slinging insults in an internet forum you would be known as a loudmouth.

You may not understand that C&C trucks are tuned for different hp and tq, have much less restrictive emissions equipment, and no history of sooting components.

I put you on my ignore list so I won't be reading anymore of your stupid comments or accusations of being a liar when you post someething stupid and another member embarrasses you.

Hello Kettle... .

Keep it up Harvey and everyone will be on your ignore list and the posts around here will be much better.

The C&C are different, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to inject exhaust directly into your intake and not have it soot up.

I am pretty sure you won't read this thou, as I am I certain I have made the prestigious list of people who have called you out on your opinion with facts and am already ignored.

 

[BruteForce]

but it is IMPOSSIBLE to inject exhaust directly into your intake and not have it soot up.

Agreed. I have my parts still (now in boxes) and they are saturated with soot. The EGR, cross-over tube, grid heater. .



Prior to my deletes, my oil analysis was as high as 5% fuel diluted due to the regeneration process. Since my deletes, I've had no fuel dilution, no overhead chimes for service or oil change. The only thing I've needed to continue doing was cleaning the MAP sensor (since I haven't yet swapped out the OEM intake horn).

 

[KLauber]

It was a great trade!

so much for my truck trade:-laf:-laf:-laf

Isn't the exhaust brake awesome. 98K miles and still have the original brake pads, I'm not kidding.

[LBARTLETT]

I love it on my wifes 68re but I don't get to drive it much, we were always taking my truck since her's was close to 100k miles



at noon tomorrow I'lol have one of my own, I'm looking forward to the manual transmission too, I haven't had a manual since my 98 CTD



I'll report after the drive home

I'm ignorant? Guess again. I'm a mechanic by trade who wrenches on his own truck. I ported my intake horn and removed my heater grids - I'm intimately familiar with the results of the EGR system.



I'm a loudmouth? Not hardly. I'm typically soft spoken, but when a blow-hard starts making things up to support his gleeful allegiance to the all-holy Cummins, Inc. , I'm more than willing to call the BS for what it is.



Have you actually raised a wrench to your truck? I doubt it. The C&C trucks ARE tuned differently, but diesel is diesel - 350hp/650lb-ft or 305/610, or 500/1100+ they all have one thing in common - combusting diesel fuel creates soot. That soot is carried through the exhaust until a point where it is filtered out. The EGR system is located upstream of these filters, which means that the EGR system is pumping soot back into the intake.

picked up my truck yesterday, the only thing I missed and I don't know how is it doesn't have the lower console in the center of the front seat, no biggy and would not have been a deal killer, I'll just move my pistol which is all I used that spot for



excellent work taking the dings out I required, new rear seat is solid bench, old one was 60/40 split so I'll be putting some like new geno's seat covers up for sale



I noticed the manual did run about 300 rpm higher at 70 mph than the 48re which was expected, I love the manual with the exhaust brake but I'd love anything with an exhaust brake, sometime in the future I'll add fog lights (I'll miss them at my age) and a power seat



I really love the truck and am very happy

 

[AH64ID]

Congrats!

I was able to find a lower console center seat in the local cragislist adds and add it. It's a great place to keep a pistol.

I used to keep mine there, but now I have an NRA steering column holster.

I like that, but don't think I have the room required to keep it there.

Besides, that's a Toyota!

It's adjustable. I have it mounted under my steering column with an XD . 40 with extra magazine.

 

[AH64ID]

I went out an played with my Glock 10mm and may order one to see if it works. It only needs as much knee room as a brake controller.

It's awesome! mine rolled over 105K the other day.

 

[mpaulson]

Love the E-brake, OEM pads made it to just over 160K on mine and still had some pad left.
