Mark, I haven't used a bore scope to examine the cylinder wall. However I did quite a number of replacement short blocks. Everyone that I did had a damaged #6 piston. With this condition, the engine makes a very peculiar sound. I don't know if the gentleman in question is going to have me work on the truck. If I do, I will post pictures. Back in the day when I was doing Cummins warranty work, I had to call Cummins, not Chrysler to order parts. Cummins had a hundred thousand mile warranty on the engine. Cummins, the smart people that they are, put some very good people on the warranty phones. I had some interesting conversations with them. Here is what they told me. They said that Cummins raised the oil pressure on their B series engine and informed the oil filter manufacturers of oil filters and that Fram declined at that time to do anything about the issue. Everyone that I did, I had to pull the head and verify the problem. Then Cummins would ship a fitted short block. They specified that I duct tape the oil filter in one of the bores in the block and ship it back to Cummins. When they had a number of engines then they would take them to Fram and make them pay the warranty costs. It is interesting what you posted about the issue from Fram. I would be curious to see if this filter is one of the redesigned filters. I am not anti-Fram filters by the way. I am only commenting on just this situation with the Cummins B series engine.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
