Checked OIL ARGGGGGG

Well Thx to the post yesterday I check my oil and it is really full smells like keroseen so I will be off to the Dealer. Took the smarty off this morning and set it back to stock. Oil pressure gauge is a little high too. If they cant get it fixed soon what can I do so I still can drive it or will it hurt something. I was thinking change the oil???
Thx for who ever started that post that I kinda hijacked you may have saved my Butt!!!!!

if your oil has fuel in it DONT DRIVE IT!!!!!it's really hard on the engine internals!!!!!!!

oil losses it lubricity when it is cut with diesel fuel...
make the dealer come get it IMO
or tow it yourself........

tire size will go back to stock, at least mine does when smarty is removed.

after several thousand miles the oil will naturally smell like fuel byproducts, that's why its black, it is absorbing soot particles. if the level is really high, the oil is really thin, and smells just like your nose is in the fuel cap, then you have fuel dilution. if it just smells like its got 5k on the oil, slow down your heart rate. usually when the injectors go, it will flood the crankcase, pour out the breather tube and coat the bottom of your truck and anyone following you with fuel/oil mix.
if its only 1.8-1/4" over the top, take it easy.
if it smells like diesel, DONT run the engine.

When my injectors went and filled my CC with fuel, I did not notice it until the CEI came on. I was back in the woods about five miles and the tow truck would not come in to get it. I idled it out to the freeway. My oil pressure was real low. I blame the premature failure of the turbo (34,000 miles) on this incident with the oil pressure being low and the oil thinned out. I would not drive it; have it towed to the dealer.

thats the safe thing to do.........cant be to safe if you ask me. maybe you caught and injector problem before it flooded the crankcase. hopefully its nothing major and they will get you back on the road in no time

Well just got back from dealer. Not going to be able to get it in tell Monday or Teusday, also he said the only time injectors fail is when somebody chips there truck. 2 Good things about that is 1st he followed it by saying he didnt care!!!! I like that alot. 2nd good thing I didnt have to lie, I do not have it chipped know!! The smarty is not a chip it is a programer. Any how I think they are going to fix it all up at no charge. Another good thing about dodge the roadside assistance covers the towing!!!

well glad you're being taken care of. but your dealer is flat wrong.
injectors fail on their own. a module will just accelerate the process.
