The scary thing about the 6.4L is that it can run surprisingly well even with a hairline crack in a piston. What you need to watch for is excessive blow-by. Pull your oil fill cap while the engine is idling; if it looks like a steam engine puffing out smoke or if the cap won't stay balanced on...

I checked my dipstick today and it was an inch above the full mark. It smells like straight diesel. I know the 6.4L uses the 8th injector stroke for regens, but this seems excessive. Is my DPF clogged, or are my injectors leaking internally?
