Why did you not let the truck run for a minute while you look to see where its coming from and then if its the filter, just replace it?

 

Because i wasn't in a good area to do it plus i lost close to 8 gallons of oil. Cummins isx holds 11 gallons lol

 

Fair enough.

 

I thought it would still start and run? Did low oil pressure shut it down?

 

It starts and runs but im not gonna run it when the oil reading on the dip stick. No low oil pressure didn't i shut it down after i seen Smoke pouring from under the hood. The oil was landing on my Exhaust pipe

 

Are you sure you lost that much oil? 3 gallons low and it won't show up on the dipstick.

 

Really?? i thought it was like 6-8 gallons then it didnt show lol. Maybe its not that much then:O I do think its a lot more then 3 Gallons though was so much and puddles of it on my engine mounts lmao

 

Looks like the engine is shot. Be honest I really dont wanna rebuild

 

That sucks....so much for it being the filter huh? Quick, blow it up and collect the insurance before there is a record of it in the shop

 

Yeah its blowing smoke out the exhaust and blow by like real bad. 19k with new head shop cant do it here.. Playing the cards but I went from 80k to 50 to 60k a year doing owner op stuff and being nicked n dimed. It's really a tough call.
