M35a2 White Smoke

TRUCK UPDATE

The injector timing looks correct by the (Troubled Shooting Manual LDS-465-1 Multifuel engine). Also I can't see the timing being off cause I didn't have this problem before it sat around. So I cant see the timing jumping when it not moving. Also for the last few days I have been getting fire wood with truck. Been pushing the truck by leaving it in 4th gear and scramming it with a joke load of fire wood. All stack from front to back and to the top of the bed rails. Been also burning some oil with the diesel to help lubricate. Truck finally broke free yesterday in 5th gear on straightway was able to do 62mph but rpm only got to 2000rpm and the pedal was all way to the floor. Truck is improving but not wear it used to be and it still smokes. In the following weeks I am going to remove the IP pump and clean it & rebuild it. I am thinking the some thing with the IP is my problem.

Something doesn't add up here. You say you reached 62 MPH yet the Tachometer reads only 2000 RPM ? Do you have an "Overdrive Kit" installed ? I'm at 2400 RPM and only going 55 MPH in my Deuce ( or there about ) .
I'm not trying to "bust your chops" but I am curious.

Hey rusty, Based on pics of the truck. He has 395s singles on it. I could be wrong thou. Could do 62mph than.

OK, that makes sense. I didn't see the pictures. Should have read the whole post. I thought he might have added an "overdrive kit" .

Maybe it's just my phone, but that smoke didn't look white, looked like 'rich' diesel smoke to me

Looks fine to me.

My Duece gets white smoke till it warms up turbo seals can cause white smoke as well. I'd check it. It may need cleaned the C I put in had soot build up on it.

I just looked at the video, and I think your right. Looks very normal to me. What does it look like after a few hours running. That is what I would like to see.

Latest video posted, looks like it is clearing up to me

gunning it for the "white smoke' is useless
Let us know after three tankfuls used up
It doesn't even warm up unless under load, You'll see...........
Put the heat gun to the crankcase 8" aft and down from the fuel filters.

If he can do 62 MPH, then Id think his tach is acting up as he should be above 2000 rpms even with taller tires.

 

[davidb56]

OOPS.... those are a lot taller than 9.00x20. scratch that idea.

Hey Guys,

Final figure out where most of my smoke was coming from when idling. Since march I have been running a 75% used oil to 25% diesel which lower the rpms at top speed and the truck runs a lot better over all. But the smoke was still there till last week I was under the truck and noticed diesel fuel dripping on me. Later that day I followed the diesel trail to the Intake flame heater. So I decided to delete it (never used it any way) and was going to upgrade to a Diesel Engine Ether Quick Start Kit. Now the truck runs great and no smoke at idling.

Post the GPS report running flat out as to speed with those 395's.
Then run a test and say what distance it takes to full stop the thing from that speed.
120 to 140 feet?

Yep when ever I have a truck that I am bypassing the FDC I take the flame heater out of the system at the same time. Glad you found your problem.

You are not going 70mph at 2500 rpm.

Have yu tried a fuel addative or done filter maintence recently?

Hello,

I need to do a pressure test on one of my cylinders. How would I go about making or acquiring one of these custom gauges?

Once I have one in hand what is the proper way to do the pressure test?

Thank you.

 

[WhoMe08721]

So what I did is I got a Diesel engine compression tester off amazon that when up to a 1000 PSI. Now for the cylinder adapter, I could not find the government issue one anywhere. So I made my own by boring out a old diesel injector and tig welding the fuel supply hole and add a gauge to the pressure top. It worked out great for me. The compression should be from 500 to 550 psi. The Compression test, step can be found in (TM-9-2815-204-35) on page 143. Also In my opinion if your pulling out your injector its a good time to clean them and pop test them. You will notice a big difference with clean adjusted injector. The steps for that can be found in (Troubleshooting the multifuel engine PDF). It is easy to do. The Diesel fuel injector tester or pop tester can be found on amazon. The only thing is you will have to make a adapter from the injector to the injector tester. But note there is a lot of psi on 2500 to 3000 psi. So if your not good at customer making thing, get so one that can.
