Hello everyone.. Mike from Iowa City here.

Im a new owner of a used 95 E350, with a 12v VE pump, H1C/WH1C Turbo PN 3519410 18mm. nv4500, 4.54 FF D60. I'm not sure what injectors or what mods were done before me and will admit I don't know much about the cummins YET.
I planned on slowly learning.. But I blew up my cummins towing a 8000 lb toyhauler up in the rockies and back to Iowa last week so now I'm desperate and have a bunch of questions running around my head. White start-up smoke and oil forced from the dipstick tube.. High egt's trying to run the speed limit.

Im just not looking forward to being told.. "You should have bought a gasser" instead of constructive criticism.

Please be nice guys.. As Im really trying, but don't have any mentor except the internet..

You have excessive blowby if you are blowing oil out of the dipstick tube so my guess is rings and or head gasket.

IC hoses are weathered but good.

I hope its the head gasket.. But it alone wouldn't cause the blowby.. Would it?

Engine never overheated or got more than 18 psi boost. I'm guessing the head gasket is ok.

Im only guessing a injector or two are bad and burnt up a piston and rings..
