grey smoke, knocking
hi
today after starting the truck it started knocking badly with huge clouds of grey/black smoke.
i ran a contribution test and #3 and #5 showed as failures.
This is a replacement used engine. These injectors were transferred over from the orig engine after being re-ringed. The injectors were new remanned last May and provided good service in the removed engine and did ok for several 100 miles in this engine.
could this be two injector tips breaking at same time or o-ring/installation problems coincidentally occurring in these two injectors?

this video is exactly what it sounds and looks like.

This is why I always recommend NEW nozzles with reman sticks.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: All good, then some knocking, then the knocking gets worse, then the bucking when your foot is holding still, then the big knock and smoke.
If this all sounds about right, it's time to play Whack-A-Mole under the VCs.

hi
not really. it sounds exactly like the video i posted tho.
as cold as it is... i am going to pull the v/c tomorrow and have a look. i have extra rings and an injector if i need it.
i got the truck to use with the business but it has been so unreliable that it was only driven a shade over 7k last year. i think the time is coming for a divorce.
quite depressed over this thing.

That thing must have been really loose to knock so hard, was the hold down bolt trashed?
