Sorry for digging up an old post but has anyone heard when EFI Live will be available for the 05's?The last I read they were thinking it might happen soon?

I love it when I learn something new.Thank you!

Thank you!Awesome MPG for a 4x4 truck, BTW.It looks like I have much research ahead...

I know my way around a gas engine fairly well but honestly never had to wrench on my diesels much other than changing oil and fuel filters. Without a sparkplug or glow plug to remove how does one perform a compression test on a Cummins?

Yeah, i will probably start tearing it apart next weekend. Too much going on this weekend. The truck still runs like a champ. The only reason I stopped driving it was I read somewhere that if it is a broken ring or bad piston that you could do big damage to the cylinder wall and could ruin the block. Once I get into it if the bottom end needs built I would look to improve what I can while staying within a reasonable budget.

My truck has started burning a lot of oil and I have enough blow-by out of the blow-down tube that the underside of the truck is showing oil residue about 1/2 way back.I have parked the truck because I fear the worst that I may have a crack ring or something.BTW, the oil consuption went way up, like a gallon every 1,500 - 2,000 miles.I don't abuse the truck but did have a programmer on it that I have since removed.Also this is my 3rd Cummins Ram and the only one that has ever had an engine problem (130,000 miles). Anyone seen or heard of this before?Thanks!
