You don't know me or what my maintenance schedules and beliefs are. I don't believe bottom ends are problems. I have rebuilt 12 ISX's of my own in my own shop and seen what they look like with my own eyes. 6 of which had over a million miles on them. NONE had bottom end issues. All but one had excessive blow by which clogged the oil filters(knowing now thanks to RAWZE what causes this).

This particular truck was EXTREMELY well taken care of from DAY 1. Oil changed every 12-15k overhead done every 100k never overreved or over heated. I had the EGR hooked up for the first 500k(Extended warranty and not knowing the damage it does)
At 1.2 mil it ran like an absolute clock. Not a miss or a drop of oil usage. I knew an inframe was close but figured it would start clogging the filter and then we would know it was time.

The oil pump failed in Utah and for some reason the oil shut down didn't activate-It was not IGNORANT ABUSE or a MORON NEGLECTING EQUIPMENT. Its certainly your right to think I pushed it to long but I haven't read many other accounts on here of oil pump failures.

Other concerns- I have a crank to put in the core to return it and cummins said not to worry about the block-they will take it as is. Time will tell I guess.

Then I would construe your original post as very misleading to me to say the least. It definitely makes it look like someone neglecting their equipment to me, because I just see it way too often any more these days. I am also one to quickly call it out so that everyone can learn from that kind of way of thinking.

If you are in fact caring for your equipment as you say,.. that IGNORANT MORON in this case is in fact ME!. I am not afraid to admit it in the least,... but to others that might be reading this,... who take their equipment for granted, driving it around in a neglected state like I see way too often any more,.. I would still call them the morons!

I still have reservations as to so many spun bearings etc. all at once,... but you perhaps also could have included the fact that the oil pump failed in some manner and caused all that damage too, instead of simply stating how bad everything was.

I will move on towards more meaningful conversation ...

-- I have seen lots and lots of trucks that have had oil pump or oil system failures not even make it the 30 seconds that the ECM allows before seizing up and destroying themselves. Stock tuning or otherwise. I think they screwed up when they did away with the old style of low old oil-pressure kill switches. The old type that you had to hold in while you cranked the truck, I forget what they called them. Makes me want to install one one mine. -- Those old type of switches would kill the engine instantaneously as the oil pressure dropped below a certain point. They were very effective in preventing serious damage.
