I just bought a 95 7.3 turbo, smokes when first starts and a little still after warming up, does anybody have any advice for what to look for?

 

what color is the smoke? once you drive the truck a little does it go away?

 

 

also... welcome to the site! tell us a little more about your new truck..pictures are always good too...

 

How many miles, any mods to it?

Sounds like it may need glow plugs and or a GPR but lets get some more info before jumping.

 

sounds like a pretty common thing on an OBS, never has one that didn't smoke a little white when you first started it up, if it gets below 50 mine will smoke for about 5 minutes or so as it idles, then goes away when i start driving....you might have some injectors or injector seals going bad, what color is the smoke?

 

Whats the background on the truck, was it rode hard and put away wet? or was it tookin care of?

 

the smoke is gray and is pretty heavy when you first start it, it stays pretty much the whole tome its running.... it dosnt smoke wuite as much after about 20 minutes of driving

it has 284000 miles on it no mods yet... bone stock

as far as i know its been takin pretty good care of, mostly long hauls not city driving looks nice, cracked dash, dings in the bed..... used to pull a goose neck

 

don't worry about it, its just a typical OBS ford with an international sir

 

also it has a loud knock when you accelerate hard..... would this be an issue?
