From what I've learned here, it's probably sucking oil through the cdr, or it's low on fuel and sucking air. Mine will runaway if I let it get too low on fuel.

Could be the CDR, or it could be massive amounts of blow by. What sort of power does the truck have? how much oil vapor comming out of the filler tube when idling hot?

You guys are really starting to **** me off. You can't even get a rust free 86 box for under $1000 up herelolz

Sounds like it could be a great deal but take your time here because a busted 6.9 isn't cheap to rebuild.

Straight and rust free you say? I'd say that's worth picking up for sure, especially if you've got something else to drop in "just in case" anyways.
