RE: Oil in exhaust thanks rawze for calling last night, i'm now a little more calm about this whole situation. i had no intention of this truck being a " intermodal/local" beater. sure the body wasnt all beat up just some rust around it. cant help rust but w.e. the engine is a entirely different story at this point. i was told the engine had about 17k in it from the previous owner, that is why i asked how/if the rings broke not even a year later on the build. if it were me, i would have put better or OEM parts on it. I like this cummins CM870, no dpf filter and no other crap other then EGR. So after i fix it, i hope i can go 6 months-1yr on it n start saving towards another truck. ill keep this one as a shell until i can get my hands on another CM870. or ill just put another lower millege engine in after words, i'm sure i can find a decent CM870 engine in the states for under 15k. The states have a horrible market/culture for buying/selling trucks. i know other truckers who got newer trucks, thinking they are better of when in most cases they weren't. only to find them self's in another shi#t hole situation and pouring money into it. nobody should have to be put trough all of this, its unfair and down right wrong. i dont blame the owner one bit, not mad at him or hold anything negative towards him. i wish him nothing the best down the road. anyways im hoping the rain wont be heavy or it will clear today so i can finish taking the radiator of today and continue as usual. i'm going to make this work in the end. lol not giving up that easy.
