At this point I would probably drive it as much as possible, make it fail sooner than later.
Yep. I wouldn’t want that engine for the long haul after it’s been run on that thinned out oil.

Why not just trade it in at this point? This thing is a mess, motor is about to blow up and your dealers service department is incompetent.

Too far down the rabbit hole and someone else would throw money at the thing. I am all for seeing it to the end and making the dealership live the pain with me now.

Driving my truck this morning since the oil change I have gone 40miles and already hit a regen cycle... with a new DPF. In 40miles used just over a 1/4 tank of fuel.

The clanking sound has gotten louder since the batteries were replace maybe they went bad again?

I would push for an engine swap or buyback. There's no way a lifter & cam R&R is going to fix smoked rod and crank bearings and journals.

Yep it's all baked. I already have more vibrations in the steering wheel. I have another 6.7 truck and can tell the difference
