Barry, I think that as he was pressing the go pedal, the PCM sending signal to pump more fuel, but not getting enough air to burn all the fuel.

Ok, but I still think that's a lot of smoke just to be that, and there is the the fuel in the oil issue.

Lets also not forget that the truck will barely idle, or even move at all, and stalls in reverse. & like barry said, fuel in oil and the mysterious green fluid.

Not saying he does not have other issues. Also, I have never had a boot blow off, so I am just speculating.

Just curious if the bang was problem or if the problems caused the bang. He said he had a 1211 code, that's HPOP code and that could be the problem with Idle. Without fresh oil, and I would recommend pulling the oil out of the HPOP and replace it as well, we are just guessing. As far as we know, someone prior to him, may have put fuel in the oil fill for some reason. I still want to know more about what the BANG sounded like.

Yes, we have another BIG BANG THEORY here.

Maybe he ran into the back of the garage because he was drunk. jk

No thump, Bang, big bang, like an incorrect detonation. Thought the engine failed catastrophicaly internally. I went and replaced all the injector o-rings, and one had blown (1.5 years ago, with a section gone) which helped but there is still a problem. the oil was changed ofter the o-rings because it was WAY too full, and that's the same oil that has been in there which is now fuel saturated again, but not that much. plus I've run the fuel out, so I don't know how strong of a dye leak detectors are, but i've never put them in and the color was kinda bright. I'm debating how bright compared to antifreeze color.

The green dye is faily bright and almost has a glow to in. Antifreeze will also be green but the water would cause the oil to be creamy or foamy looking. Was your reverse problem there before the bang?

truck started loosing power intermittently before the Bang, not sure if the reverse symptom was there specifically. and the oil wasn't clumpy but didn't look thick like oil, like like water or fuel. isn't ULSD greenish out the pump?
might do a search for my posts to see some history, i don't know how long the sight archives the threads, but they should have started 1.5-2 years back.

Fuel will thin oil, Water will really muck it up, make it look like creamy coffee or something close. Fuel shouldn't be green enough that you can tell. I will look back and see if anything else comes to mind. I will post the link for others to review as well.
