Thanks everybody, apparently it's not my FDC. Sticker on a filter housing says compensator was "bypassed to prevent fuel dilution of the engine oil" and to only burn diesel. Which is what I've been doing. Backing off the fuel rate sounds promising. Where do I do that? The manual doesn't say...

Thanks. I'll assume my manual covers that.

Thanks I'll look into that tomorrow, but I still don't know what FDC means. No intention of using the truck until I find the problem.

FDC? Yes, truck did seem to climb the hills a little too well with ~5 tons of horse manure in the back. Was surprised I didn't need to downshift and wondered if my load estimating was that far off. Still idles well, with little smoke.

Oops. OK, got the correct elbow, part of the exhaust line. It's black, not gooey. A little less powdery than what I got out of the top of the pipe. Next? And thank you, Tom (sometimes clueless)

Wow, that was quick. Thanks. Any idea why the manual isn't so direct? Thought the smoke was pretty black, but that's from a mirror. I can warm it up again, with a passenger. Assuming the elbow is question is the one to the intake manifold, clean as a whistle. Didn't notice any difference...

Hello everybody, I'm new here, not to my deuce. What a resource, this site! Spent some time searching the archives but didn't find quite what I needed. Apologies if I missed it, but time is short. There's horse manure to move. If that avatar loads well, you can see the rear shaft driving...
