    Hi, I have a 2000 international semi truck Dt466e. The truck has been acting strange the past few months, but I'm very concerned with heavy blow by and oil coming out of blow by tube after driving the truck for just a short distance. The truck only has 80k miles and is not running hot. It will sit and idle all day long with out this problem, but as soon as you drive it it starts to act up. Truck seems to be over fueling at times and losing power.

    What's the temperature where you're at? Excessive idling in cold temps can make oil slobber everywhere.

    One place I worked at had an '06 Pete 335 with an ISC Cummins in it. Truck sat and idled at sub 30 degree celsius for over a week straight. When they put a driver in it to take it out to work, the thing poured black smoke out for at least a good 10-15 minutes until all the crap burned out of it. Is yours doing something similar?

    If you are idling for excessive periods it will slobber and then smoke once under load. 80K mileage means nothing at this point, it is the age and engine hours that are probably very high. If the blowby is excessive I would suspect a scored liner.
