The 04s had a small 'jug' that the blow by tube ran into...the dealer would always empty this bottle but an oil change place wouldnt...When the bottle is full it will overflow and then hit your manifold giveing you the 'burnt oil' smell....

See if you can see if you have one, and if its full....

wuts good oil then really i mean a semi runs rotella all day long i don't see them changing there **** at 3000 miles went u can run it for aleast 6500k aint going to tell me rotella is cheap oil or aint good really why does dodge call for it in the cummins im shure they don't know what is going on and if rotella was junk then they prolly wouldn't be in bussiness its seems to me no one even knows wut the fleet gaurd filter deal is on the vavle cover and there are 2 hoses that run into a small jug prolly wuts up with it prolly needs drained but the hoses don't run on the exhaust manifold side its on the intake side
