hope you get it figured out

 

If that's your truck in second video it looks like it's time for a comp test. Normaly when checking for blow by through the filler neck you would place the cap over the hole to give an idea if it's pressure or vapor. If the cap bounces off it's a sign of broken or worn rings, or hole in cylinder. If the cap just kinda floats there your probably ok. Yours does look excessive!

 

WOW!!

You are looking at a rebuild. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Broken rings, broken piston, or hole in piston. Your white smoke is due to zero compression in at least one cylinder.

 

Subscribing. I believe you have a bad hole also. The poffs of smoke seem to be timed like timing of cyclinders not blow by that is normal for these engines a steady flow.

I will share the outcome when i get it resolved in the next day or two, thx for the input and interest.

Correct bad cylinder. Replacing with a ford reman. engine for $7000 including install for a complete drop in motor. It was cheaper that a $650 a month truckl payment.

I guess including install thats not too bad, if you had decided to do it yourself, Riffraff Diesel: Ford Enhanced Long Block, or it might be cheaper?
