new to Cummins, been messing with diesels for a while now.

bought a 2004.5 ram 2500 4x4 quad cab for 5500.

the body is rough but the PO just rebuilt the turbo with a billet wheel, Bosh injectors, completely rebuilt front suspension and a bunch of other goodies (with paper work). the trans (auto) was allegedly built be another previous owner.

i get blow by when the truck is cold at idle, at 323K miles i'm guessing its time for some new rings. PO used T6 5W40, would a dino oil 15W40 help with blow by? it does choo choo at cold idle with the oil cap off.

truck has the Edge juice with attitude (with pyro) as well.

its a lot of fun to drive. looking forward to playing with it.
