I may have a couple of problems or I may have one that could be one of a couple of different things!
I drove my truck to town the other day and it blue white smoked and ran rough all the way there. It was a 15 mile drive went into wal-mart and back out 20 minutes later and drove home, no smoke still ran rough. No trouble running 70, I've had it up to 85. I have to have the ip advanced as far as it will go or it smokes at idle. with it advanced all the way it doesn't smoke till 2000-2100.
I've just been using the truck around the farm sense I got it a year ago and had never gotten past the smoke before. I had been using it today around the farm and decided to make the drive over to a little country store, it smoked all the way over to the store so I thought that I would drive the long way home and see what happened. About 2 miles later it quit smoking. All of this is with 100% diesel no WMO, with a heavy dose of diesel klean. The truck will cold start at 15* and no problems with temps in the 112 out starting and stopping as you would do around a farm mending fences checking on cattle and putting out feed. It will idle all day and 30minutes after shutting down fire right up.
With the ip on the static marks it is hard to run 60 and hold it there.
It doesn't use any oil.
The truck is my signature truck and the ip is a reman.
I have put fresh BB delphie's in.(that wasn't the problem.)
I have a new fuel pump on it (that wasn't the problem)
The problem is on both tanks.
The engine starts quickly and stays running.(I don't think I have air intrusion)
Is there a screen on the fuel in port of the ip and could that be the problem?
I have not changed the return lines, none are leaking.
fuel economy is crap 1/4 tank to town and back, I think most of it was while it was smoking on the trip to town, 30 mile R/T (that would be 6 or 7 mpg)
anybody with any thought or suggestion welcome. I have a half of a mind to pull the timing cover to verify that everything is lined up before replacing an ip that seems to work just fine except run like rough and smoke blue white at over 2k until good and warm!
