    Looks like we have a winner.

    It can. But not always from how its been explained to me. It can go into the combustion chamber and get blown out the exhaust like mine was doing.

    We were all pretty sure it was a sunk liner. Im glad it was just a cracked head.

    Sorry princess, this wasnt a "bad delete". The engine has had a cracked head for a lot longer than Ive been running the truck. Infact the cracked head is what caused multiple dpf/doc problems, you do know what coolant does to those filters correct?

    This truck has run 20k flawless miles for me in the last few mo's even while consuming coolant. It has never skipped a beat, never run hot in the Tx summer heat, never failed to deliver a load until I decided it needed to be fixed. This truck has had multiple other drivers in the 6yrs my company has owned it and has other 386's with much higher mileage also running perfect.

    This thread isn't about wtf ever you're trying to turn it into. It was about confirming a known issue with ISX's. Luckily it wasn't a sunk liner.

    So I should have my truck back by Fri, to get the load Im holding delivered.

    Do you have a reason for being here? You come out of nowhere and attempt to troll me, which you can't even do right. Now do everyone a favor and go suck start a shotgun.

    And if you post a pic of my cousins again, I'll make sure they hunt your ### down.

    And looks like I spoke to soon. Truck has 2 scored liners. Whole thing has to come apart.
