Really Need Help!!!!!
I have a 2005 Dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 Cummins. My truck runs great but once in awhile it will knock puff some smoke and then its fine and it mostly does it when i shift through the gears and start hittin the gas pedal. It doesn do anything when Im just cruisin along. Anyone got some answer for me?:argh:
|
have you tried changing the fuel filter?
|
not yet i just graduated college and i just bought this truck and im waitin to do a full service on it till i get my pay check
|
Is there a chip or programmer on it?? If so yank it. and fill out your sig so guys can help you better.:c:
|
no its completely stock. i just checked the fuel filter and its black really black
|
Not good! Change it out check the oil level and do a major service when you can! Do it yourself we will walk you thru it!
|
Just changed the. Fuel filter and its still doin the same thing
|
How about posting a short video of what it's doing?!

It sounds like you got an injector hanging up...knocking and smoking is a classic sign. A black fuel filter is normal, they just get that way...Baldwin is about the best filtration you can get for an OE replacement (5u IIRC).
I would first try two things...run a heavy dose of Power Service Diesel Kleen through it, I'd probably do a large jug in a tank of fuel. And then try using some 2-cycle oil (search for the kinds on this forum) after the Power Service to see if that helps. You may either have a really dirty injector, or one that is just going to fail...sometimes dosing them real good helps. Keep an eye on your oil level...make sure its not mysteriously gaining oil. ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- One thing that puzzles me is that it only happens between gears...almost like the APPS is doing something weird? |
Thank you steved that really helped me in diagnoising my problem. How big of a jug should i use of power service? how much oil should i use and will that mess up my filter? what is the apps?
