blie smoke

[moon]

94 Dodge Cummins 3500 Dually 4x4 auto,200,000 miles,operating temp normal,dont use any oil, has good power but the problem is it has a tinge of blue smoke out of exhaust pipe at most speeds. will blow black if i tramp on it. Fuel psi is right,new fuel filter, new air filter,timing checked(15 degrees),any ideas?

I can't remember who posted this but some one made the comment of replacing the quad o-ring's (upper and lower) in the pre-screen filter. I believe it helped significantly. You can find more info on Fritz's web page. http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/filter/pre-filt_clean.htm

I'm thinking I may have a plugged up pre-screen... .



After a ~1200 mile trip this weekend my truck has smoked a lot (blue) on its first initial acceleration and runs like a DT466E or even T444E... or like manure in other words. [ha, ha, ha ]



I thought it was from the grid heater not coming on..... I ran it for 40 minutes... reached full operating temp just fine..... then shut it off for ~3. 5 hours and restarted. Smoked a little at idle, but smoked a LOT when I put my foot into it and it ran like a freshly wounded yuppie jogger.



Anyone ever confirmed this, or am I in for a lot of $$ in parts??
