Oil is still in the crankcase. I have a Boss 8'2" power-vee snow plow on this truck, and it received a workout this past winter. Truck is not garaged, and sits outside. I plugged the block heater in twice during the winter, so mostly cold start-ups, and it fires on the first cycle of the intake grid heaters everytime, even when temps are well below zero. Engine also has a Jacobs exhaust brake, that I use most of the time. If only I could get this engine in a Ford Superduty!

No comment on the uoa i dont have the knowledge. But i am about 7500 miles on delvac 1 in my 03 ctd . i have the sample bottle from blackstone and was thinking about going to 10,000 and sending in the sample. I felt the same way about the cummins in the super duty but not so sure now after 25000 in the dodge.
