Strange behavior, Cummins P-Pump
If this is a p-pump 12v then you will actually want more fuel pressure. Can you give a few more details about the engine please. Happy to help in any way that I can. What electric pumps are you running? Most 12v guys stick with the mechanical block mounted pump unless we go to monster...- Crawler

6.0 making oil help!!! Not injectors
Another option is to pull the valve covers and run the truck stationary. Watch to see if you’re getting fuel in rocker box area around the injectors. As much as you’re diluting your oil with fuel, if the bubble test isn’t showing any signs and it can’t be spotted under the valve covers ...- Crawler

6.0 making oil help!!! Not injectors
Could be bad/cracked/nicked/rolled o-rings, cracked injector, cracked head, or a few other odd/rare things. Do a bubble test on the fuel system. Basically, pull the secondary fuel filter and leave the cap off. Then fill the fuel filter housing with fuel(you can key on for this or fill from a...- Crawler

Possible 05 6.0 purchase need advice
That’s tough to hear. I just did an engine replacement for a client of mine in one of their gas 5.7 tundras because an employee didn’t pull over after losing a water pump. That’s an expensive bill. Not only parts, but labor. All due to negligence on the part of the operator. Operator error...- Crawler

Looking for a bit of guidance, buying high mileage stock 6.0 as SECOND vehicle.
https://www.oilburners.net/threads/possible-05-6-0-purchase-need-advice.84419/ This thread has most of the info that you’re looking for. I’m mobile at the moment, so I’m not in a position to summarize it. My apologies. If the truck is sound then I’d buy it. That’s a lot of truck for 5k.- Crawler

Possible 05 6.0 purchase need advice
Sorry to hear it for that kid. But glad it isn’t your headache. That’s a lesson that most of us only really learn the hard way. Hopefully he didn’t hydrolock it or pump all the coolant out and overheat it to the point of dying. That’s a serious leak though to actually kill the truck.- Crawler

Boost leak?
Pressurize the system to 30-40psi and spray all the connections with soapy water. Watch for the bubbles.- Crawler

Trading for a 12 valve
If it’s an aftermarket exhaust, it’s possible the exhaust wasn’t aligned well when installed. First thing I would do is use a floor jack under the truck on the exhaust after the downpipe. Try to use the jack to take the weight off of the exhaust to help align the downpipe. Next would be to...- Crawler

bad PCM?
I’d concentrate on the transmission connector first. Check all of the wires and the pins on the VB. I would recommended ohming the wires from the connector to the ecm plug.- Crawler

Trading for a 12 valve
If the breather hasn’t been modified or moved, then it’s built into the tappet cover on the drivers side of the block rearward of the injection pump. Newer trucks have the breather in front of the injection pump gear on the front cover.- Crawler

Do not add seafoam to the oil to thin it. Your injectors run on oil pressure. Hot shot secret Archoil Rev x Those are fine. I usually run rev x or archoil If you are doing an egr delete, do not just weld up the cooler or run block offs. Replace the upper passenger pipe on the y-pipe/uppipe...- Crawler
