Now for the bad news. When I bought the truck the previous owner must have started it up before I got there. Now when I start it up after it sits overnight it smokes blue bad enough to cover the truck. After it heats up it does not do it anymore.
I called Scheid diesel here in Lafayette IN and talked to a pleasant sounding women and I told her I had a technical question about my truck. She wanted to know what it was so I explained the situation and she knew exactly all the possible causes of the smoke and almost guaranteed me it needs new injectors. Boy am I glad that it does not need engine work! Plus I am glad I did not ask for a man to talk to about the problem!
So now I have to invest $642 plus tax installed for a +40HP rebuilt set. That includes adjusting the valves also. They claim not only to give 40 more horse power but also a 2mpg increase in fuel mileage.
Cheep compared to some of the costs associated with the new diesels.
They are going to have to wait till spring because I already spent too much money the way it is.
