Hello yall, ill cut right to the chase. For the first few minutes after startup, the truck seems to slightly stutter / misfire / lack power and produces a small amount of whiteish smoke on about half+ throttle. The engine also audibly sounds "worse". Once it warms up it sounds smoother and runs excellent. It also acts somewhat similarly after going down a long hill engine breaking, a small amount of throttle will cause stuttering / misfiring and slightly more throttle will produce whiteish smoke, but the engine doesn't sound "worse". Stepping on it after a long downhill will puke out white smoke that smells of diesely oily stuff, cant tell for sure. After a bit it goes back to normal grey black smoke.
- The fuel filter & air filter were just changed, filling the fuel filter with diesel kleen seemed to help for a drive or two.
- Truck starts IMMEDIATELY, even after sitting for a week.
- It drinks a moderate amount of oil
- no coolant loss
- Im operating at 7000 to 8000 feet
- Its about 80 degrees out
Any ideas? My uneducated mind is thinking an injector is being funky, but Im not sure. I know you can send them to be tested but I cant have the truck down that long. Thank yall for any help or pointers.
