    40000 miles after changing main bearings truck started to consume a lot of oil. It used to be 1.5-2 gallons between oil change and now is 5-6 gallons. There is a small leak from the head , however no oil on the ground at all
    Any advise will be greatly appreciated

    4-5 gallons between oil changes? I'd just stop changing the oil and swap filters every 15-20k.

    980,000 miles and your wondering why its using oil now????

    Its done. Time for an inframe or with that kind milage a recon engine wouldnt be a bad choice either.

    Around thses parts guys with isx are only getting about 5-6 hundred thousand out those engines. Start useing oil or spit a con rod.

    Id say you did fantastic.!
