New development on the truck, moderate amount of white smoke on hard acceleration up to 50ish mph. I went for a drive last night to try and troubleshoot my transmission issues which I don't think there is any now, seemed to shift fine even into OD. Anyway from a stop if you accelerate hard it almost seems to start as a missfire but quickly clears and seems to have decent power up until you let off, but it has a moderate amount of white smoke out the pipe, not black like it was a few weeks ago when we started driving it. Starts extremely well even cold, I don't think it even cranks a full revolution before firing off. Has new moose injectors, new glowplugs and glowplug harness, new return lines, new Holly blue electric fuel pump set at 6psi I believe or that's what holley says there regulator comes set at. No weird noises except for what I think is a lazy lifter, seems to clear up after a decent drive. I have not checked timing, have no tool to check it. I'm thinking about bumping it advance a dimes width this weekend to see if that helps. It may also be just a tired IP, it looked newer than the rest of the engine when I bought the truck so I chose to keep running it and only do the injectors which I later learned on this forum was probably a mistake. It also seems to be getting fairly crap fuel economy, I know it has 35 inch tires and highway gearing but 7mpg calculated?? I think it should be more I. The 11-13 range. I know poor fuel economy can also be a sign of a failing IP or retarded IP. Other than that the engine seems to be running and sounding good. Almost zero smoke on cold start and none at idle.
