Diesel Missing Badly..... HELP
I have a 1990 crew cab with a 7.3 diesel. On a recent trip I was driving down the road and all of a sudden it started missing pretty bad, but i drove it home. It is still able to drive but it misses badly. It also started blowing like a blue color smoke out of the exhaust. I talked to a guy about it and he said I bent a push rod. Anybody have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks alot

Bent pushrod, bad valve, blown head gasket, bad injector pump and or injector or plugged fuel filter. It's hard to pinpoint one item. Is there any loss of coolant or oil? Is the oil milky or gray in color?
