No I do not sadly.Any chance you have a borescope, take a look in the cylinder

New-ish. This thing has maybe 2500 miles on it in the 2 years.Since it's a fairly fresh rebuild I would probably take it apart and have a look. Probably a quick refresh and try to sell it.
I was thinking you were talking about a new engine.
Kind of curious what has went wrong. Is the PCV setup good on it?New-ish. This thing has maybe 2500 miles on it in the 2 years.
It did not have one originally. It does now with baffled valve covers.Kind of curious what has went wrong. Is the PCV setup good on it?
I would pull the head at least and have a look. Has it fouled a particular plug or plugs? Run a compression test down the bad side. If you are pushing the dipstick out it would seem like more than a ring.It did not have one originally. It does now with baffled valve covers.
Little trivial side note. The ISX breather tube assembly is one of the programs that I manage at work. We produce it for Dana.I know on a Cummins ISX they are after the lift pump. So it’s tank, lift pump, Davco, filter. My understanding is a filter before the lift will cause the lift pump work much harder than it was designed for.
Detroit and Cat typically don’t use lift pumps. Personally I would use a Davco style fuel/water separator with a heater. They are not expensive and will provide the filter with clean heated fuel.
They have saved me a few times when I have got bad fuel.
I asked the same question over on the Cummins forum and actually got a really good response. They said the same as you - putting much more than a screen in front of the lift pump will keep it from properly pumping. I do know there is a screen inside the LP inlet, but I want something I can change easier than pulling the lift pump off the truck.I know on a Cummins ISX they are after the lift pump.

Putting a filter before the pump is not a good idea. It's a pump not a sucker. You want as much supply as possible to the intake side of a pump. Even the screens and socks can ruin a pump if they get stuff plugging them up. Pushing the fluid through the filter is the way to go.I asked the same question over on the Cummins forum and actually got a really good response.

They suggested an inline filter that has a half inch line on both sides. Gonna pick that up and put it in.
I really hate the location of the factory filter, but there's not really anywhere better to put the thing. I guess I'll think on it. I might be able to come up with something. Gonna ditch the factory filter housing and install the new one and run the Donaldson filter I bought. Probably not the water separator filter - never had issues with water in my fuel. Always a first for everything, though. Haha
I'm keepin' mine! Although not a sugar momma in the true sense she doesn't bat an eye when the UPS or Fedex Truck pull up out front with new toys.All I can say right now, is race cars... I need a sugar momma
So what's the buy it now price?I realized tonight I’m just not in love with the truck anymore. It’s just frustrating to me now.
It hurts, doesn't it?All I can say right now, is race cars... I need a sugar momma
Oh I'm keep mine too. You know how they can be a love hate relationship lol.I'm keepin' mine! Although not a sugar momma in the true sense she doesn't bat an eye when the UPS or Fedex Truck pull up out front with new toys.
I wouldn't say it hurts. Just the nature of the beast, they can be frustrating.It hurts, doesn't it?
I still haven't heard anything other than, "call me next week" from my engine builder. ECU is supposed to be ordered if my FIL placed the order. I want it done so bad though.
We took the Chump car to Putnam this weekend. I didn't race. Now I want to race. Badly.
