Hi All,

The good news is I did get started.

Now here is what happened. I performed the air intake mod by removing all my stock intake mess and installed the Baldwin Air filter from RiffRaff by using a couple clamps and pvc which all went pretty good. The tough part was getting the old bottom part of the air box out, geez! I got everything done and decided to clean, I'll do the mod later, the oily goo from the stock pvc setup. I sprayed a bit of brake clean at and around the nipple sticking up inside the turbo housing which connects to the PVC hose on the outside I also ran a rag inside that same area to clean it. When I got in the truck to start it it kicked back and would not fire, tried this three times it would just crank but not fire up. I went around to the engine and noticed smoke coming from the exhaust side of the turbo billowing upword. I look the air intake back off and let it sit for 5-10 minutes and tried again. It started but blew a good amount of white smoke then cleared and seem to run ok. I reinstalled the air intake the got back inside for a test drive when I shifted into reverse it died. It did restart though. Drove around the block then got home and started/stopped a few times all was ok.

I am hoping this was from spraying the brake clean inside the air intake but not sure why this would happen?

Any thoughts???

Thanks...

Brake clean emits allot of fumes. Probably the cause of the smoke anyway. I would think your good to go.

 

How long did you wait for the brake cleaner to evaporate before you started the truck?

I think your fine as well.

 

initially after cleaning up that area I reconnected the air intake tube and tried to start it. After it wouldn't start I removed the tube and waited 5-10 minutes then it started and blew white smoke. I drove it later this evening and it started right up so I am hopeful we are all good now.

Thanks guys...

Mike
