Judging from your other threads I would advise you go buy a new truck and take it to the dealer for all the work it needs done.

If you can afford a Hummer,Land Rover,Jaguar, etc, etc, What do you want with an old 97 Cummins? Why not buy a new one ?

ya. with all due respect keep driving your gas vehicles. diesels require more maintenance than some may like to do.

He was just making a very vain attempt at impressing everyone here with that comment.

Seriously, I hope you buy it back, it was good entertainment

Because I like projects. I've considered a nice 6spd CR, but its so easy and cheap getting power out of a 12v. Besides, I'm truly a redneck at heart.

It's funny everybody here thinks this is my first time owning a diesel? This isn't my first time at the rodeo.

Why would I care about impressing people on an online forum? I was just trying to figure out which one he might have been talking about.

Now here's some real input. Thank you. Good advice. I did mess up by not checking the oil. Had I not done that, I have faith that 99% of my problems wouldn't have been. But the truck did have some nasty blow by even when I first bought it.
