I have just bought a 93 f350 with a 7.3 idi motor with a banks turbo and it smokes alot not just on start up it blows smoke all day and burns oil like crazy any ideas would really help thanks sorry it blows white smoke

 

are you losing coolant? smells sweet?

 

No its not coolant no sweet smell

 

I am really afraid its the rings and i am going to have to blow apart the whole block and do the rings any other possibilities would be great

 

history on fuel system? mileage? timing?

oil is usually a blue burn, you can also clean the CDR and see if that helps oil consumption

 

I dont know much about the fuel system it has just over 200 k miles on it And i dont know the timing i just bought it four days ago i havent had time to do much with it and its my first diesiel so i may seem stupid but what is CDR

 

fuel system usually lasts around 100k then needs replaced, that could be causing your white smoke.

CDR = crankcase depression regulator. tuna can looking deal that hooks to your intake, if its not working properly it can suck up some extra oil through the intake, therefore "using" or "burning" oil

 

Ok i will check that out and also start pulling injectors and see what they look like to thamks a lot for your input

 

probably not a matter of looks, but the internals. before you go doing anything crazy start with the free stuff, clean cdr, advance timing a tad. then if no dice then look for new fuel system parts

 

Ok that sounds like a good idea to like i said i have always owened fords but this is my first deisel

 

oops almost forgot, welcome to the forum! and we need some pics of your truck!!!!

 

I will get them up asap and thanks man

 

If it was sucking air into the fuel could that cause it yo blow white and burn fuel

 

How rough does she start while cold? Warm? If air is getting in then starts rough and runs rough along with smoke...

 

It run good warm its a cold blooded son of a gun to start but i found a small fuel leak between the filter and injector pump and there is a little puddle of fuel at the top of the block right under the leak
