Hi All,
The past:
- New injectors as of a couple months ago, new return line kit at the same time
- Rebuilt injector pump as of a year ago (maybe 10,000Km on it)
- New fuel filter as of last month (maybe 2000Km on it).
- Single tank (front) with new steel line I ran about 2 years ago both to and from the tank. No fuel tank selector in this set up.
- New to me but in really good shape fuel pickup in the tank. Tank is full.
- Running pump ULS diesel with about 250ml TC-W3 oil for lubrication pre tank. Never ran WMO, ATF or anything else through the truck.
- Truck ran like complete crap until I replaced the injectors and return line system.
Over the last week or so:
I threw on a ****** exhaust system from stuff I had hanging around because mine rotted out, I was poor and I was tired of slow cooking myself in the cab, I figured I would take a video of it to see what kind of smoke if any I was producing at idle, under throttle "bursts" and under a sustained rpm since I have been experiencing choppy idle, and I figured it would give me a place to start.
Current theories include:
- Air intrusion somewhere maybe a return line leak or something with the 7.3 filter assembly.
- Bad timing on the IP (Since I was a dummy and took the gear out when I replaced the IP but I did use the whole line up TDC lines to get the base timing close enough to run instructions some have found online.)
- Thermostat stuck open (truck runs really cold and takes forever to warm up) maybe its just not reaching the right temperature.
Whats interesting is it seems to go away after a bit. In the video I have here I did some quick throttle presses then one sustained at 1000rpm and another at 2000rpm. I don't normally fart around like this with my truck out of gear, I was just trying to record different situations so I could see what was going on smoke wise.
Also, the truck was about as close to its normal cold operating temperature as it gets from day to day hwy driving.
Thoughts?
