My 98.5 cummins has been in the shop for 8 days now and each day reveals a new problem. Took her in after a few hard starts where there seemed to be a loss of prime. The day before the shop appointment the oil pressure gauge suddenly dropped, then went immediately back to normal. I was a mile from home so I decided to limp her home, the oil pressure dropped to zero and then jumped back to normal as I pulled away from the intersection stop. Acceleration seemed to keep the oil pressure in the normal range. Anyway, I ger her to the shop who seems to start throwing parts at the problems. They replaced the oil pressure sensor and said the injector connector pencil o-rings were leaking causing loss of prime. After these repairs the problems continued and now they want to cut my oil filter apart and check for metal which I can understand. I just got off the phone with them and was told that fuel is entering the crank case and the oil level is way up on the dipstick. They are planning on pulling the valve cover tomorrow and checking to see if fuel is coming up around any injectors and draining away to the crank case. This still does not address my oil pressure issue unless the fuel thinned motor oil is causing the erratic readings. I trust the shop and they are very well though of in town. I would like to hear your thoughts and for any ideas you all might have.- 26 replies
