Fuel leak at fuel filter
I had similar fuel leaks from the filter head a couple years back. I rebuilt the filter head with all the orings and that solved the leaks. I did not know about the vulnerability of the fuel heater to short and cause limp mode for the E4OD trans. Guess I'll disconnect mine to prevent the...- Stock90IDI

Exhaust Smoke going Downhill
Pushing the advance piston at idle basically made little to no difference....it certainly didn't make it run like crap. Looks like a new IP in is my future. Since the injectors are original as well, does it make any sense to change them along with the pump or wait until they give me a problem?- Stock90IDI

Already tried the cleaning. I’ll try pushing the advance piston tomorrow and see how that goes.- Stock90IDI

Exhaust Smoke going Downhill
Update: Returned to Cali a couple of weeks ago and truck didn't smoke as bad. Wife was following in her car and said she could smell strong diesel fuel smell most of the trip, especially on the down hills. Otherwise truck ran good as usual, 17mpg empty between Bend and Klamath Falls. Last...- Stock90IDI

Exhaust Smoke going Downhill
Sure sounds like mine has the same issue with the pump. The timing light and Ferret Injection Detector are ordered and on their way. I'm currently up in Oregon for the holidays but will advance the timing and flush the IP with ATF when I get back to Cali.....definitely expecting it to smoke on...- Stock90IDI

Exhaust Smoke going Downhill
Sorry Paul, my bad. I meant the unused clean ATF leftover as I bought a 1/2 gal and didn't need it all. I'll use it. I was reading through some older posts about this procedure and some members recommended running it hard (like you stole it) until the ATF is flushed through the system. Is that...- Stock90IDI

Exhaust Smoke going Downhill
I assume any old ATF will do? I have some Mercon type ATF left over from changing the transfer case fluid a few weeks ago.- Stock90IDI

Exhaust Smoke going Downhill
Well I just read your post and ran right out to try it out. Held it at 2200 rpm and she belched white smoke and ran rough. She definitely does not do that running 2200 rpm on the highway though. Guess I'll check the timing to start with. I don't have the correct tools but found some good advice...- Stock90IDI

Exhaust Smoke going Downhill
Thank you for the quick response. The rear tank does have a broken shower head and gauge wanders around so I only go 150 miles before switching tanks or refill. Front tank pickup and sending unit/gauge currently seems to still work fine - I routinely go 240-250 miles until refill. However...- Stock90IDI

Exhaust Smoke going Downhill
I'm having a curious problem with exhaust smoke from my truck that I hope someone here can shed some light on. I’ve noticed my last couple of road trips that under certain conditions it produces a lot of exhaust smoke. It only happens when driving downhill with the throttle slightly depressed...- Stock90IDI
