[QUOTE="Ronin, post: 464137, member: 2612"] Mods are in my sig. Current mileage is just over 28K, which is causing me concern for the longetivity of the motor... I've been experiencing high levels of aluminum, iron and potassium just creeped in this last analysis. For aluminum I should be around 13, I'm currently at 27 (with a short sample interval of 2+K miles) and have been as high as 48. For iron I should be around 30, I'm currently at 27 on this short interval and have been as high as 86. Potassium should be around 10 and I'm currently at 9, been as high as 34 but that's been the least of my problems I think... The Blackstone analysis tech is concerned. I'm running a relatively mild (Gearhead Street) tune and I thought with my Amsoil remote oil bypass and Dieselsite coolant bypass I was doing the right thing. I originally ran Motorcraft oil and switched to Rotella T6 synthetic. I've seen just on the high side of 50 PSI boost and it's puked a handful of times and only needed a few ounces (16 max IIRC) to get it back to the proper level. I haven't done anything with the EGR and since I might be relocating to Kalifornia I was concerned about futzing around with it. Never raced or sled pulled. I mos def get on it on the street (once the oil/coolant is warm enough) and tow quite a bit, but only around 8K pounds max. I'm planning on studding the motor and some other odds and ends once I figure out how everything works in the People's Republik of Kalifornia. I was planning on this truck being a 200K= keeper, just a bit nervous right now with the mileage this low and wear being an issue. Rocker arm wear...? Leaking EGR cooler...? Whaddaya think? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
