Default White Smoke

Ok, truck wasn't running for a week(replaced #1 injector and IDM) now it runs rough and blows white smoke. Any thoughts on what this might be now. I've owned it for 3 years and never had white smoke. Hucksdorf is the only place around here that I know of and spoke to someone who works there he said they'll sell you what you need and some stuff you don't so I'm not to keen on bringing it there. Anyone heard reviews on Hucksdorf? Would prefer to fix it myself. Thanks.

possibly the harness under the valve covers..may have bumped it while installing the injector...it dosent take much on a worn out harness connector...

What lead you to change these parts out? I assume your not just throwing parts at it...

You need to get a scanner on it, see what you can find. Run a cylinder cont test, a buzz test, a KOER test... You might plan on doing a compression test after that.

From your other thread...

why did you change these parts out?

Injectors weren't getting any power and the number one injector read OL when tested with multimeter. Installed new clip on harness under rt side valve cover.

IDM that I got didn't have numbers on it so I couldn't tell you.(Remanufactured) Is there any other way to tell?

You really need to stop spending money on it the way you are and run some tests. Injector Buzz test, cylinder cont test and a KOER (key on engine running) test.

Do a quick search for Auto Enginuity... Buy it for about $250-$300 and then you will have to tools to check things yourself!

Dont worry about the IDM, they are all the same so long as you stay within the major build dates. OBS/ SUPERDUTYS...

OBS have 120 IDM's and the SD have 140... Truck will run the same with eather.
