Hello all,
I bought this truck last year, and I cannot thank all of y'all enough for the help that you have provided and still deliver to this day. Today I'm coming to you with a problem, which I think isnt real major, but its an interesting set of circumstances that both caused and are an effect of said issue. I have a white haze at idle, which I know from the research on here, that is normal when cold. The thing is that the haze doesnt really go away. Once the truck is warm, it goes to a more black/dark grey color. The weird thing that i have yet to see someone else mention, is as soon as the throttle is pressed, i roal coal. Given when it is cold outside it still has that greyish color. But in the middle of the day it is a greyish white haze, and as soon as I pull away from the stop sign, any blip of the throttle gives me black. I adjusted the injector pump back a bit, as I was told by the previous owner the shop that installed it was told it was getting a turbo, so they maxed out the pump. I'm a little skeptical of it, but you never know. As I said, I turned the fuel down one flat(60*), and it seems to be a little less smoky, both roaling coal, and the haze. But it is still pretty bad. I dont burn much oil. I check it about 2-3 times a week, my coolant was low at one point but i also check that at usually the same time as the oil. no issues there. As previously stated in other posts of mine, the odometer reads 96,000. I am not 100% sure, but the way it runs besides the smoke tells me that is a good estimate. The injection pump is fairly new, as well as the injectors, glow plugs, glow plug wiring, and injector return lines. At the moment its not so much of an issue, as it is more of an annoyance, that as soon as i put my foot even slightly down, i get storm clouds, which is whatever, cool for awhile, but i can just watch my fuel gauge dip even for a short trip. I appreciate any responses and any help you guys can offer. I have not had a compression test, but again it only has around 100K miles and was taken pretty good care of as far as the usual maintinence. I'm not a mechanic, but from the fact that the smoke at both speeds of the engine has died down, I would venture to say its being overfueled, which would cause the black smoke at speed, and the greyish black smoke on startup and idling. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
