    Coolant leaking from...somewhere

    I noticed a little dried up puddle under the truck last week but it was raining so I brushed it off. Yesterday when I turned it on and sat for a second before leaving I noticed a solid drip coming down the block on the passenger side and mostly off of where the oil drain plug is...

    Looking at 94 idit 4x4

    Well, now I'm just curious. Does the auto-tranny have anything to do with speedo....? I would assume that would only go off of tach

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Whether it's actually the cause of the issue it's been good to learn about it. Decent timing light for these trucks? I'm sure it's much cheaper for me to do it and probably not too hard...

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Everything you’re saying is accurate. It basically started with me thinking the smoke had possibly started to get worse and I began to research what may be causing that. When I delved into it the whole CDR valve/oil on stud situation came up. Bronco suggested just advancing the timing a bit...

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Tightened it back up this morning. Still smokes a bit but really only when I’m gassing it in third. Amateur here and I know it could be other things but could it be that when I’m hitting it harder in third the air intake is sucking in more air and the CDR is going bad therefore more oil is...

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Think, I’ll just see if the white/blue smoke calms down when I’m putting a decent amount of weight on the pedal and the go from there. Still going to replace CDRV at the end of the month when the parts come. Also plan on pulling the gp’s doing compression test and leak down and also...

    Moved it just a tad passenger. See below: Should it go further or is that a significant enough move?

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Injection pump is loosened but I can’t get the thing to budge at all! When I broke the top loose it actually moved about 1mm towards driver side

    This has escalated, haha!

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Because of the tstat housing right? My little torch couldn’t get the steel hot enough :(

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Just did the return lines, might need to re-visit this. I ground down the closed end of the wrench but ran out of time to make the adjustment. It seems like the wrench should work fine without bending it.

    Hmmm, what might actually be easier is just disconnecting the hard line from the IP while I'm making the adjustment. Seem like a ridiculous idea?

    Maybe it’s a good time to move that hard line. I see a couple people on YouTube videos using a rubber hose instead of hard and going to #2

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    I know I’m not the smartest mechanic but am I the only idiot who can’t seem to figure out how to fit something in there to loosen these nuts? Do I need to remove stuff to do this? Am I not thinking of the correct tool? Currently trying to work a 9/16 open ended wrench in and it’s clanking into...

    Judging by the sounds of the process I'm guessing you have that so it's easier to be more precise?

    Haha, good deal. Thanks to both of you. I'll try this tomorrow after work.

    Reasonable instructions: https://www.dieselhub.com/performance/idi-injection-pump.html I'm honestly having a little bit of trouble finding good instructions on how to do this correctly.

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Awesome. I read that some of the HF compression testers have an issue with the attachment fitting into the GP hole. I'm guessing you didn't have this problem? Do you know which one exactly that you got? I think they have a couple of kits and one person mentioned that the 14pc kit worked...

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Thanks for the advice. Actually my plan is pretty much that. I'm going to just replace the CDR valve because it's cheap, easy and harmless. Did you do the compression test yourself? Where did you get the kit? I was thinking of just pulling all the GP's inspecting them and doing a...

    Thanks for sharing. Happy to say I'm running a N/A 6.9l that I enjoy going slow in haha

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Good idea but I did just replace the return lines and actually got them from Russ. I'll contact him about the IP and see where it takes me. I think stock IP from Russ was about $1000. Whats a "hot IP"?

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    Yeah, mileage is unknown and I've been thinking about replacing the IP and the injectors just to start fresh. My only hesitation has just been the cost... $1500 for injectors and IP. I think I once came across a video of someone taking apart their IP to clean it...

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    I've had the truck for about 6 months. It's always done it but it does seem worse. Coolant is good, oil always seems to get low after a fair amount of miles. I've done fuel cleaners especially after replacing fuel filter a couple hundred miles ago I filled it with diesel kleen. When you're...

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    I think you’re onto something with the CDR valve. Definitely noticed oil on the air cleaner and on the stud.

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    The truck seems to omit a decent amount of blueish white smoke when I and accelerate medium to hard. Guessing the ip pump needs servicing and or the injectors need replacing. Sound accurate? Power seems fine but I’m not really sure exactly what it should feel like. I would say at 3000 rpm in...
