Let's play "how fast can we find the problem"
Im going to give observations and test results.. feel free to tell me to perform diagnostics and ill post results.
Looking for your best guess "whats wrong with it"
no comment on which engine it is.....
This engine has developed a horrible case of gigantic smoke plumes at startup, runs rough enough at idle to occasionally stall and shakes the truck quite a bit. sounds like multi cylinder misfire, but too loud and awful to tell. Smokes the entire time it runs, white blue in color.
Struggles to idle but still has some potency off idle, bone dry rad, milkshake in the oil pan, puking oil and coolant out of the exhaust
Haven't done glove test on rad yet
Exhaust pulses oddly. Some pulses positive pressure, some negative. Going to guess vac gage is the same.
Ya'll have the floor
