driving about 9 hours and someone told me i was leaking tranny fluid.. haha i knew that was impossible, so it had to be fuel.. sure enough, through the oil breather, that goes on top of the valve cover, its blowing out diesel.. checked the oil, twice as much in there that should be, pretty much all diesel.. what happen?? O-ring on one or more of the injectors?? i disconnected MP8 and put smarty on stock to keep the pressure down, and still did it.. im stranded 7 hour away now, waiting on my buddy with a tow bar... Any input would be great.. thanks guys..

DONT RUN IT AT ALL!!!!

Probably cracked an injector.

Only advise I have is to get a hold of some injectors (borrowed or bought) replace the oil and drive it home.

What ever you do dont run the truck at all, the excessive fuel in the oil can and will cause bearing and ring damage.

 

ya, i figured.. thats y im waiting on my buddy.. just horrible luck..

 

Been there done that.... Several times....
Sorry for your bad luck!

Must be an 04.5 thing. My (now traded off 04.5) left me stranded 3 times. Once in Kentucky on the way to Michigan for 3 days while waiting for an injector to get to the dealer. Still under warranty but my nickle for the rental car and motel for the 3 days. Got rid of it and got an 07 5.9, almost the same truck feature wise but no problems for the first 31K miles, at least so far. Get your injectors changed, if under 100K might still be under warranty but they usually will only do the failed one, then a few weeks later another one will probably let go again and so on, just remove your extras prior to taking in to the dealer. The 04.5s seem to be more problematic with the pressure boxes on them, at least that was my opinion.

 

Cracked body is my guess. I see you do have Wicked nozzles. Personally, I am just waiting for my turn. LOL..... All I have to say is Don at F1 is your friend........ Pull them all and send them in.
