Looks good patracy! Being a webmaster myself and messing some with vbulliten, I understand how things have to be changed from time to time! Like the new layout!
A bad head gasket can get fuel into the oil thus making it appear that there is more oil than there should be.
Edit: Actualy there's several things that can get fuel into the oil in these trucks. Check the oil again and see if it has a diesel smell to it.
Perkins does have a straight 6 model that is about the same size as a 5.9 cummins. We have one in our spray rig, and it is a very reliable smooth and strong running engine.
