I am in need of some help.....i run with an ambulance company in pa and the one ambulance smoke bule after its warm....the company is saying just still cold....not sure what todo....it also is red lineing before shifting into the next gear...its either a 2000 or 2001 ford e or f 350 power stroke... thanks

 

the blue is probly oil burning in the cycl....as far as the trans gos it should not redline before shifting.....what r the codes??

 

Sometimes oil will leak past the Injector cups since ford uses a HEUI injection system. Now as for redlining you either have a bad conenction somewhere but if you can pull codes for us we may be more able to help you..

 

I sound stupid here but what codes am i looking for...

 

If you know of anyone who can get an OBD II on your vehicle it will bring up any codes stored on any of the major CPU's. Some will throw a check engine light (CEL) and other will not because either they are a stored code or history code. We just want to see if there are any codes because this will tell us the area we will need to address and correct the issue you have told us. These codes can show us the problem areas with the transmission or engine. hope this helps. Can you maybe tell us more about the vehicle such as how many miles what the maintaince on it?

 

there are 114xxx on it

 

Well unless your gonna dig into it, Its either you have bad rings, valve guides, or an injector cup leaking by. If it does alot of idle time its most likely rings but that can be checked by doing a compression test.
