could you have blo by from droping an injector

 

i ask this because i have diesel coming out of the blow by tube

 

Shut it down, shut it down, shut it down!!!! I just had this conversation with a service mgr last week. Local dodge dealer had an 04.5 come in with bad blow by. Short story, two injectors were cracked and leaking, tops blown, #3 and #5 cylinders leaking down because the rings had collapsed because diesel washed down the cylinders. New short block, injectors, labor covered under warranty BUT, service mgr gets crash course from district rep on where to look for bombs, district rep says it was probably a banks unit. Tell tale sign, velcro on top of steering column.

 

THANKS!!
thats what i figured im going to haul it home this weekend. here in tulsa im afraid theyl viod my warranty at home i know ill be fine

 

The service mgr told me when they first pulled the dip stick it only showed oil, no diesel, no diesel smell either. Reason, oil and diesel had separated in the pan, like oil and water do. Make sure they can't find any evidence of your bombs.

 

Where is the blow-by tube located? Id like to check mine to make sure im good from time to time.

Thanks

 

Except diesel is made from oil not water. Shouldn't you be able to mix them, kinda like 2 - stroke mix?

Sounds fishy.


If you cracked to injector bodies you'd fill up the crankcase quick.

 

i had more fuel in there than i did oil when i had my #2 and #3 go out. Luckily i was watching my oil pressure and shut it down right as it dropped to nothing. Removed xzt as the tow truck was loading it and they covered the injectors. guess i got lucky.

 

thanks have you heard of them saying anything about having gauges

 

how bad would it hurt it to drive it 200 miles to the dealership if i kept adding oil

 

Probably destroy the engine!!! DON'T drive it, have it towed!!!!

 

Not to steal this thread but what if you have oil coming from the blow by tube? My friend has an 05 with th crazzy larry and he runs the crap out of his truck and it it sits and idles for more than 10mins he has a pretty good size puddle under his truck.

 

Yup. Thats the answer to your question.

 

ended up cracked injector they warrantyd it

 

nice, didn't have any trouble then?
