Hey guys I need some help.
My truck is not doing so well I burn a crazy amount of oil (spent about 70 buck a pale every 3 weeks) the turbo is been rebuild and no oil leaks. Also I can't see any oil in the coolent. Some days my truck smokes crazy amount of white smoke and smells unburned diesel what indicated back injecter. Is my motor shot ? It only got 4 k on it (km) thanks a lot

Using that much oil it might be an engine problem. Any blowby out the oil fill?

Has it done this since you got it rebuilt or did this just start? I'm assuming that a pale is a gallon? Have you pulled your CDR to see what condition it's in or the amount of blow by? At a gallon per three weeks driving and only 4k on the engine. I would suspect something wrong with the rebuild. Does the engine run smoothly through the rpms? How does it idle? White diesel smelling smoke could be a number of things. These engines are famous for air intrusion. Dose it straighten out after it warms up? Did the engine builder go through your fuel system too? I agree with CIb. Probably time to talk to the shop or person that did your rebuild if you had it done somewhere.
