Re: New Smoke

Lots of good info and experience here. Sounds like a harness might be a good idea and an EGT gauge with settable alarm might be an engine saver.
I replaced my air filter (it really didn't need it)...

Re: New Smoke

Well, I've got around 11k miles on my new engine and I've been getting black smoke again. :f6:
Doesn't do it when it's cold, but starts after the engine warms up. I...

Re: New Smoke

Re: New Smoke

Re: New Smoke

My engine had around 82K on it. I might have been able to save it if I had been somewhere where I...

Re: New Smoke

Well, I thot I'd post the continuing saga of my smoke on acceleration. Took off a couple of weeks ago and spent a few days leading a group on the Applegate emigrant trail across Nevada. When we were...

Re: New Smoke

Well, got my rig back from the shop. Got gaskets under the exhaust manifolds, flushed the cooling system and put on all new turbo related hoses. The old hoses were starting get soft, crack and leak a...

Re: New Smoke

No EGT gauge, so can't check that.
A change in fuel quality is a possibility, but it hasn't happened in years past. My fuel purchases have been mostly in eastern California and central Nevada to...

Re: New Smoke

OK, got my van in a few days early for a "full diagnostic". Basically, they say there's nothing wrong. All readings within spec. The cylinder contribution test said all is good. The little oil in the...

Re: New Smoke

Thanks for the reply's on this guys. I've been on the road for five days and lots of other stuff going on. I'm going to clean my EGR again and see if that makes any difference.
