WORN OUT or ABUSED? 368,000 Mile 5.9L Dodge Ram Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine Teardown. (It Still Ran)

Today I'm tearing down a 5.9L Cummins Turbodiesel from a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. This engine is from a 368,000 roofers truck that I bought for parts and IT RUNS! But, just because it runs, doesn't make it a good engine. It ran terrible, misfiring constantly and pushing a LOT of crankcase pressure known as blowby, out of the oil cap hole. In this video I tear it all the way down to find the root cause of its symptoms and see what parts survived the likely rough life this truck lived.

It's a diesel.  Of course it still ran.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
