Good grief! Those poor suckers...

[Crunch]

Can a dealer really get away with this nonsense? Got curious, checked the DieselSlop and saw this:

"Good News!! My dealer told me the other day that diesel fuel in the crankcase won't hurt the motor because diesel is oil based! "



Can't someone put these people out of their misery, or at least see to it that all the sharp objects are removed from their houses and safety plugs put into their electrical outlets?

Go back and them you heard Diesel Fuel was Paraffin Wax based Oo.

Actually I've seen dump trucks with a gallons of diesel in the crankcase and no harm was caused. Some of them have gone for several hudred K after the dilution. It's not really as bad as you would think. Of course if it happened to my new truck I wouldn't be any too happy.

What would hack me off is the dealer trying to blow smoke up my @$$ by telling me that it won't hurt my motor. Next they will be telling the F-series customers they need muffler bearings.

Sure....

There were a few on that site that believed a specific shape of the exhaust tailpipe can actually create a vaccuum while going down the road at speed, sucking the exhaust out which will allow the engine to make more power.



Wonder if it's genetic or something in the fumes they've been whiffin'?

And they keep buying these things. I just turned over 19,000 miles with quite a few of those miles towing our 10,400 lb 5th wheel. Not even a hint of any trouble whatsoever. They truly believe the Dodge is worse. Are they really that gullable?

Does diesel fuel harm the functionality of the piston return springs as well?

The idea of diesel spewing all over the internals of my motor was the exact reason why I sold my Duramax. I was upset enough that the fuel system went out, but I was more concerned when the dealer told me there was no way to tell how long my truck had been spewing diesel all over the place, and that just didn't sit right with me. Maybe one day GM will get it's head out of it's hind quarters and buy a real diesel motor, cause Lord knows they sure can't build one worth a poop.

Oh great, those wear out too?

Hey, dont forget to tell them to change the summer air out of the tires and put winter air in, for the cold months ahead! that is why tires blow in the summertime, due to the lack of proper seasonal air molecules, trapped inside, trying to escape... .



Also, we need not worry about blinker fluid anymore, as I heard they also make a new synthetic blend that enables them to blink for 100,000 hours of service. It multiplies by 10 with the addition of LED's!!!

I work on stationary EMD diesel generators, we sample the lube oil for dilution, if it becomes higher than a certain amount we have to pull a rod cap and check for crank journal damage. It takes alot of fuel to hurt it but the sump holds about 250 gallons of oil

Old days

In the old Detroits, they would always dump a fuel line under the valve cover. You would start gaining oil, and smelling more and more like diesel. But, you would dump the oil at the first chance and repair the injector line. Didn't want to run it too long like that, sooner or later oil will dilute to point of damage.

Same here on the EMD locomotives..... had to worry about crankcase explosions too if the dilution got too high.

 

[klenger]

Justifying diesel in the crankcase kind of makes the old API certification threads here seem kind of silly. I suppose the Ford guys need to check to see if their #2 is API certified if they are going to add it to the crankcase.

i had one newer sd75 that came through out service track dead& drained. they emdec said low oil press /hot oil temp faults, opened up a rocker cover and everything was spotless, and smelled of fuel. pulled the dipstick and oil was 5" over the full mark with the eng dead. all fuel baby:-laf... #3 injector had one of its flex lines rubbed against the injector body, and put a hole in the line that was about 1/8" diam.

diesel in the oil

Don't know if I should admit this... . but I use to flush my F150 with diesel fuel before "every" oil change. Talk about the oil coming out black!!!

The truck is still in the family and has 160,000 miles. I had a timing chain replace at 150,000 (just a precaution) and the mech said I must have babbied the engine. The timing chain was fine and everything looked real clean.

My daughter is using the pick-up now and it runs like its new.

I can't remember my rational for flushing the engine all the time but it must have kept the inside clean. No... I'm not going to try it with the Ram.

I do this in my truck 1 time a year i let it idle for about 2-5 min. . It really cleans her out

I guess that one of the reasons we Cummins/Dodge gu --- persons (pc) get the "badmouth" on the other sites is we care to use that "expensive" oil(s) for our baby. We cant see the reason for using the #2 exclusively for all the lubes, even tho a Ford dealer said so !!



SOTSU!!
