Low power, missing
I have looked through the threads and there are similar but not the same problems mentioned. After starting and backing out of the driveway with no problems I get about two blocks away and the truck runs rough, there is a significant drop in power and if pushed I get a lot of white smoke. If I just sit and let the truck idle for a few minutes it seems to clear up.
I thought it might be because it is cold, but we get very wamr cold weather here and it is happening when the outside temp is 80 or more. I dont even know if the truck has a block heater (which I will look for today). This truck is new to me and so are diesels.
There is a Banks Power Pack installed. The truck has about 80K on it.
Where should I begin to troubleshoot?
Thanks
