Smelly exhaust - Coco620 - 07-02-2016

Hello guys !
My truck suddenly has smelly exhaust & a lil white blueish smoke... Doesn't run different just stinks makes eyes burn . Thanks in advance.


RE: Smelly exhaust - Rawze - 07-02-2016

does it smell mostly like fuel?, oil? or coolant?

Are you loosing more coolant? ... Oil?

fuel mileage go down quite a bit?

When you open the oil filler tube cap, can you see a lot of extra smoke in there as well?

Just read an article where a Detroit guy had this problem and the dealership said everything was in compliance. Pittsburg Power put in some different pistons and a VG turbo on and it went to an average of 8.6mpg with no stink. Like Rawze says....what does it smell like?

Thanks guys , it's not loosing coolant or using oil at all ! The smell I would have to guess is fuel like, if I stand on the deck plate , I haven't pulled the oul cap off but will do tomorrow for sure! Thank you

By chance did you do the gear oil in the crankcase thing? That stuff stinks at first.


RE: Smelly exhaust - Coco620 - 07-03-2016

I did do the gear oil thing but I've been doing now since I joined this forum last year, this is new week or so ago thanks

A buddy of mine said it smells like one of his trucks did when he lost an injector, I did the injector cut out test all but #3 will stall the truck

A healthy engine will run on one cylinder at a time unless it is tight from a recent re-build.
