I wouldn't use Biodiesel in my Cummins. ULSD works just fine, no additives needed.
Yeah, ULSD in my 1st gen cummins works just fine to. But that doesn't mean it protects the pump or injectors at all.
Like I mentioned, B2 bio diesel is supposed to lubricate the IP and injectors better than any additive. But I'm unclear if 2% will have any effect on rubber parts. Also read, soyshield is a great additive as well.

That's right. It won 't do a thing for the rings. My owner's manual said to hold off on towing for about 1000 miles and that's what I did, although I think that was really to let the rear end gears mesh and not so much for the benefit of the engine. My .02 opinion is that you'll be fine with 1000 miles on that engine.
Understood. I added the blow-by comment just because it's been on my mind me since discovering it. And how much I may have diluted my oil in the 1000 miles Iv driven it.
