7.3 liter diesel
When i get on my 7.3 every once in a while it will kinda white smoke, it has 176,000 on it and doesn't black smoke a drop, what could be causing it?
|
Does it feel like it is missing while you see the white smoke?
White smoke is unburnt fuel. You could have a loose UVCH on one side. Check all the wires going over the VC to make sure no chaffing is going on. Could be injectors. |
black smoke is unburnt fuel in a diesel not white, white usually is coolant leak

Since this is a 7.3, you may have an injector that's headed south or your UVCH may be coming loose. You may also need some new o-rings on your injector. Depending on how old it is, you may just replace the injector with a reman one from Clay: Riffraff Diesel: Stock Rebuilt Injectors |
Its has plenty of get up and go power and has never smoked, how could i figure out which injector to replace? Or just replace all 8? I just rebuilt the hpop and put new o rings on lines and fuel housing, and what is the UVCH?

When my truck is just at an idle i smell raw diesel so what is causing that?
|
Raw diesel at the tailpipe, in the cab, or standing in front of the truck?
