Only other way it can get bad inside is if the ccv system fails - even then it wouldn't be that bad- that is a clear case of failing egr/ccv/emissions junk. Pretty passionate about the topic after i lost a ton on money on my Ram 2500. I pretty much learned howto rebuild a 68rfe, and do all kinds of odd ends on a 6.7 cummins (and the 5.9 is a superior engine in terms of longevity imo). If your ever in the market for a new diesel - buy a duramax (they are the most sorted right off the line even with the emissions junk on them). Pretty solid injection system (L5P). Easiest to tune with hptuners etc.Agreed. It's hard to sludge up a diesel engine. Most of the ones I've seen with sludge is from coolant intermix. Coolant intermix on a diesel looks way different than a gas engine.
