I have rerouted it back to where it dumps out next to transfer case. I didn't get all creative like moparman did with the pvc pipes, but just used a long 3/4" heater hose ran over the top and down along the frame next to fuel line. That oil buildup was caused by front main seal or from the tappet cover leak.

I pretended that i didnt read what moparman said until i finished my trip. Ignorance is bliss I suppose. However, I found that I could prevent it from happening by rev matching my down shifts and popping the throttle once when I would get to a stop and be in neutral. Stop the issue completly. On a side note, and probably needs it on thread, but I just have to say that the mishimoto radiator I put in during the build, is one of the best investments I have done to the truck. 100+ abiant temps, pulling 14k at 65mph at 5000' above sea level caused it to max at 212° going over some of the steeper passes. But the speed at which it recovered from it was incredible. As soon as the load was removed from the motor it started dropping. It held around 197-203 in the flats. Had the A/C on the whole time and the cruise set. Made for a great first trip on the motor. Worth every penny.

I have been towing my 5er across Texas on the new rebuilt motor. Started with 1100 miles on her, I am about 750 miles into trip. hot as hell out here. I have been running in 4th gear, nv4500, at 2500 rpm, right around 64ish mph. Wierd thing has started to happen when I start slowing down for an off ramp for fuel, or rest. When the clutch goes in and I amdown shifting as I slow, the idle wants to drop to about 700 before it catches itself and comes back up to about 825ish. After I stop, it smooths out and idles perfect? Anyone ever heard of this? All sensors where replaced during rebuild...

I definitely took that into consideration when I went this route. However, where I am living at for the forseeable future makes a freeze blow out negligable since it may get into the 20's only a couple times a year. I always have the coolant at 70/30 as well. I spent 7 years in Fairbanks, AK with a 3rd gen 6.7 Cummims and never had issues with it freezing. Although, I did have way more heating elements in it than this one. Besides the block heater in the water jacket, I also had heating pads on the oil and tranny pan and one under each battery all ran to a 4 way plug. Even when the kids or dogs unpluged the truck at -40, no issues, except for batteries not having enough power to cycle heater grid. Usually had to plug it all in for a hour or 2 to get her going again.

Just a stupid thought, but did you make sure the floor mat wasn't pushed up under where the pedal is when you did reset? I know my floor mat is pretty thick and I have issues with the clutch switch when I am starting if it gets pushed up there....just a thought.

Original ones Ones put it in at machine shop.

After checking all my before and after pictures, I believe that the shop didnt push the freeze plugs in far enough. They where only about half way in compared to the ones when I pulled the motor out. I am sure that these will fix the issue... I also did a retaining plate from Industrial Injection across the back since that one was still good. Not sure how I would have got that out to begin wirg.

Yup.

Yes you will need to reset pedal. Key on...slowly depress pedal to WOT, tgen release slowly. Key off. Don't think the edge would matter.

If you the oem style APPS which has the oval mounting holes, then you have to calibrate it using these instructions. http://m.cumminshub.com/service/cummins-apps.html You will need a voltmeter and a paper clip.

I personally would take the turbo off. Its not hard to do. 4 bolts on the manifold, oil drain, and seperating the downpipe. No worries no issues, plus you get the piece of mind that nothing went into turbo. However, if that is not an option for you, then a greased bit while motor is running would be my suggestion.

Crank sensor by starter.

http://www.xtremediesel.com/attitude-performance-1009-bolt-on-side-freeze-plug.aspx Any thoughts on putting these in instead of the regular ones? I'd do the 3 on side and the one in back.... Or, how about one of these.... http://www.enterpriseengine.com/product/cummins-coolant-water-bypass-kit-89-02-dodge-3-9-5-9-4bt-6bt-12v-24v-diesel-engine-12-24v-water-bypass-kit/

So, finally got the truck all ready to go since rebiild. I got 1100 trouble free miles on it. Been pushing it hard, trying to weed out any bugs or issues. Hook up the 5th wheel, get going down the road, 4 miles....4 #@&#$! miles... And I blow a freeze plug on right under turbo on the water jacket. 4 miles.... Now, before ya ask, yes, I replaced all the freeze plugs during the build. However, I had them done at the machine shop when the block was getting worked over. So, now what...roadside assistance got me home....but for some reason I don't think the answer is to just put in a new freeze plug and then "go see what happens." I will be calling the machine shop on Monday to see their thoughts, and to give them a piece of my mind. Any thoughts on better freeze plugs? I know a block off plate would probably just cause a different one to blow...Can I trust that the rest of the plugs where done properly? Once it is fixed, how do I load the motor down to the point where it would be the same as towing the 5th wheel so I can test it out without risking the trailer or having to have both towed back home.
