Too much oil and poor dealer help

[flan]

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.

Major mountain pass lots of traffic should be good. If it catches fire I don't think I'll call any one.

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.

It doesn't look good for the Ending. Better get ready for a Parts Swap.

Truck swap

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.

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?

Batteries, that was horseshyte from the beginning. What an awful dealership.

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

Make sure your AAA membership is paid in full.

Especially since these engines are already fretting the mains in stock format. Fuel diluted oil will just help things along at an accelerated pace

Oh I got friends on stand by lol.

Looks like it’s time for another $700 set of batteries.

I'll take a video of tomorrow's cold start, starting to sound like a good old 12 valve.

Instead of batteries try installing a second alternator, from the sounds of it you built your truck with only one. You need more POWA!!!!!
