Tim I think you have hit the source of Sulfur in Crankcase, you wrote

Remember the hulabloo the past few months about high sulfut content diesel
fuel, is it possible diesel fuel is being blown past rings -- a normal thing
in engines - and the sulfur in it is mixing with water, lots of sources for
water in oil, and creating sulphuric acid???????

I agree with the comments on the quality of oil made today is far better
than oil even 20 years ago the 10-40W Rotella T is an outstanding product
and can be found most places, '86 Ford 1-ton with the 6.9 has over 230,000
and still going strong on Rotella T, one of the big things with diesel oil
is the ability to withstand "Fuel Oil Dilution" which is the fuel washing
the oilfilm off the walls of the cyl and past the rings into the sump. And
the resistance to Sulfuric Acid, which is created from the exahust
byproducts and moisture. These additives are used up faster when doing short
trips that do not allow the engine to heatup fully. So change your oils more
often when doing short trips. TimK..
