    8.3 smoking after oil change

    Had cummins diesels for last 20 years. This m923a2 is new to me. Had zero smoke before I changed the oil. Brand new oil and it is smoking at idle and pretty much all the time. Not heavy but it is there. Any theories? Thanks!

    Clicking in fuel tank

    I agree but idle is fine, just some smoke. No miss at all. Just that dang smoke and clicking.

    Clicking in fuel tank

    I have ran power service in it for part of trip from picking it up. Probably 400 miles. I know i don't like it and don't like the smoking at idle either. Why would oil change make it smoke????

    Sounds like my old police cruiser with cracked manifold.

    Clicking in fuel tank

    I just changed oil yesterday. Had zero smoke at idle until then. Just don't get it. That return line is most likely the culprit. Can feel it clicking.

    Clicking in fuel tank

    This is absolutely related to the engine. Goes faster and slower with rpm. Some smoke at idle on hot engine. Other than that it runs perfect.
