Okay, took it in to guy I know and trust at repair shop. Here is what he said. Something is contaminating my oil. First thing he asked is what oil am I running, and how long has it been. I told him Rotella and been in just 2000 miles. He says that it is too thin, and who did my oil change because they overfilled it. I said, okay there is the problem. I do my own oil changes, and know for a fact that it wasnt overfilled because I came up about 1/2 quart short when I filled it cause I ran out of oil. He also said that it looked too thin to be Rotella.
So I am guessing that fuel is getting dumped into the oil. Is this what you would think?? And, if this is the case, would it be because of injectors??
He said about $70/hr to diagnose, times anywhere from 30 min to 4 hours depending on if he finds it. I told him what you guys have said. I am going to email him a link to this post so he can read what you have said and hopefully save me some $$$.
So what do you think on the new developments?? Same diagnosis?? Let me know as he will see this post too.
Thanks
Bill

PS: by the way, you know that defacing currency/taking it out of circulation is illegal right

Not sure because I also removed my intake and cleaned all the booths since i had mine apart...but doing all that only took 3.5 hours, So im almost sure you can do both sides in nothing more then 2 hours...there really not that hard to do if you have the right tools, good socket set with adapters, also the only problem i had is that you really want to just start the valve cover bolts and leave about 1/4 inch out till you get them back in, the hardest part was the back bolts closest to the firewall was just hard for myself to get to, other then that really easy and the gaskets are reusable, so its really a $0.50 fix, and just time,

I just hand tighten the bolts nice and snugg I call it 2 knucle white, when two fingers get white knuckles there tight, you will probably need a few extensions 2 and 6 and a universal...I used a quarter inch drive to reinstall...
The part I dont understand is the diesel in the oil, the clips will not put diesel in teh oil unless you have another problem along with that, did you say you could smell diesel in the oil?
If there is and you only have a little and your only going 3 or four miles I would'nt worry about it..

I think your right, but im not sure if the O-rings would let diesel slip from the fuel rail to the cylinder amd past the pistons and into the oil sump/pan
Wish I was closer I would try to come up and help you..

I Looked at this truck today. When you clear the codes they do return right away while the light is on and the vehicle is acting up. It also appears as though fuel is getting into the oil. My guess is the unburned fuel is washing the rings and passing to the oil sump. I have seen this before in gas engines but never on a diesel.
My suggestion is to try the repair laid out here using the quarters. Only might I suggest using a large washer or something other than defacing American currency. Change the oil and filter and then retest.
It might also behoove you to do the wiggle test prior to making any changes. This might make you feel better about the repairs if you can duplicate the light/chug condition vs the no light and no chug condition by wiggling the harness at the valve cover and making the problem come and go you will deffinately know that you are headed in the right direction.

Call me in the morning if anything changes.
