Just had a call from a friend , his 01 D-Max is having some issues , it has just under 200 000 kms on the clock , the last couple days it has been running rough at idle , and started losing power, it's also blowing oil out of the breather tube on the right front corner of the engine , enough to coat the underside of the truck he says...

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks, Jayme.

 

First guess would be a hole in a piston. 2nd would be broken rings.

 

^^^^yep im with him if there is oil comin out of the breather tube that is usually not a good sign.

 

Bad injectors buddy

Tell him to pull his dipstick and see if he feels/smells diesel fuel.

Hows his oil pressure.

Same thing happened to me when mine took a crap on me, i was towing and it blew diesel fuel out my breather tube all over my under body and boat i was towing.

He could take it to the dealer to get it fixed under warranty.

 

How did you make out on this Jayme?

 

sounds like injectors.

An 01 is liekly out though.

7 years 200,000 mile coverage.

 

Any Updates ?

 

Got it back from the shop , 8 new injectors , and they did warranty it, funny thing though , the two days after my friends truck laid down on him , our shop truck did the exact same thing, 8 new injectors for it also.
