Cummins Carnage

[tragicwagon]

While I was at the dealer last week the mechanic asked me if I had seen a 24 valve with the new crankcase ventalation system,I said what are you talking about. He took me in the shop and showed me a 2001,3500,4x4,with 68k miles. Click here to see what I saw. He said "it looks like the rod bolt failed".

I know these are great engines and the odd's of getting a bad one are about the same as winning the Lotto, but after a while you feel like maybe you need to trade before the warranty runs out.

This is why the 70's Cummins NTC engines got the nickname "cumapart", and was the beginning of Cummins loss of marketshare in the Class 8 trucks to Caterpillar.

Um! This makes a blown head gasket on a Dura Max Look like a minor tune up.

I thought head gaskets were part of the Duramax tuneup?
