fuel in oil?

[Ggg]

Forgive me if this has been covered already. I am looking for some suggestions.

I am asking for a fellow member who is out on the road on his way home. I think the truck is a 05 2500 4x4. Here is what he told me.

He started out on a road trip to FL from N. IL. by the time he made it to Indy he was using fuel big time (300 miles to a tank full). No power loss, miss, or excessive smoke. He checked the dipstick and the oil was high and smelled like diesel.

I do not think it is a stuck injector, due to no smoke, miss, or hydro-locked engine. I am thinking bad CP3 internal seal. But I am more of a first gen guy so I may be all wrong. Thanks for any help.

yep the seal on the front of the cp3 is leaking in to the case, get it fixed soon!!

I talked to "not_agn" and yes there is a front seal on the CP3 that can fail and dump fuel in to the timing cover, thus into the crankcase.



I wonder if there is any damage to the lower bearings due to inseffecient lube for that period of time?

I didn't put a ton of miles on mine when I had an injector stick open, but it wasn't missing or running low on power, just pouring fuel on the ground from the blowby tube. Is he stock?

not stock, But the same symphtoms that you had. He did not notive uother than fuel useage and fuel out the blowby...



So they new injector was fixed with no permanent damage?

 

[Old Smoky]

Does he have a pressure box?? I'm guessing cracked injectors.

I drove about 30 miles, killed my HTBG, engine was fine and pushed me into 6 new injectors DCX wanted $900 + for 1 injector, so I popped for 6 80hp injectors for a few hundred more. The injectors were flawless, I put the quad race box on and around a month later my injector tip cracked and the thing stuck wide open. No pressure no mo.

wow, and he mentioned his turbo made some wierd sounds when this happened. I suspect new bearings are in order.



As far as pressure, he runs a ts ramifier/tst/bddl - So he has some high PSI I bet.



EZ on level 2 is enough for me and I think i'll keep it that way



Good to hear nothing bad hapend to the bottom end of the motor...

im curious to whos injectors they were that failed?

 

[TX Gooseneck]

They were factory injectors. I've put almost 60k on the DD injectors.

Tomegun- I think his turbo was on the way out before the fuel in the oil deal hit the fan. I know he put about 100 miles between when he first thought something was wrong and when he got to Indy. I am sure he is back by now, maybe he will post what he has found so far.

I haven't found anything yet. Just getting back into the swing of things, back to work, etc. I haven't really dug into it yet. I am looking at the injection pump, but need the gear puller to pull the gear off to get the pump out. That is were I am. Greg, I was actually on my way to Florida. I started noticing the fuel gauge dropping off around Danville, and by Indy I went through over half a tank. I actually ran out on the road, thats how fast it disappeared. When I got out I seen it all over the trailor. I plan on working on it some this weekend. Thanks for any help! Lee.
