Half the trucks in our shop usually have "white smoke" in the repair notes. You are right- if you catch it right away, you are looking at an injector. I've got a small collection of what happens when you don't on my desk. A week ago, I turned in a core X15 with a hole the size of a basketball in the block! At the worst you would be looking at just replacing the engine. We've had quite a few of our fleet owners retrofit their trucks with Recon N14's, I had a cabover in the shop last week that had a rebuilt big cam in it. The owner had "Let's make the Old School New" painted artistically across the back of the cab, haha.

Please, please your advice. Hard to start, then big white smoke for 1-2 seconds, and black smoke. Then ok. Vehicle is 1996 Toyota Prado 3.0 Turbo Diesel.
Great video. Made me wish I in a class on these things. Long story short I just got a Dodge Ram 2012 ST 3500 over 200k miles and soon as I got hot from the dealership I noticed smoke coming from underneath the front side of truck with a strong smell like burning fuel. I'm still trying to figure out what it could be before I take it to shop. I only had it a few weeks, it only dose it after I've ran it a while can you please give me some advice on what I should do or what does it sound like?
@@crazyDIYguy ok thanks for the info but after calling around and doing a headache of research I finally discovered the problem and I dosen't seem like it could be something so simple. It actually was the ring gasket that dose between the V-clamp on the turbo exhaust down pipe. If you see soot residue anywhere down in that area then you have an exhaust leak.
I get white smoke on cold start after sitting for >12 hours & cold weather. After first start and usage it doesn't smoke at all. Just a couple puffs first start & it clears.
If it's a Cummins or any diesel engine it's a sign that one injector dribbles a little bit when the engine is stopped. You'd need to have all injectors removed and tested on a sophisticated test stand. There's one in Toronto that can do it for $75 CDN per injector. Dave's Diesel - tell them Lane Harper sent you

I get startup on first start white smoke it goes away after a few mins . 06 Cummins 5.9 287200 miles on it. Supposedly the injectors was changed out already , also I do have light-moderate blow-by .
So it's possible that the injector on my 2cyl diesel tractor is doing the same thing. I'm getting lots of white smoke. It doesn't start though. I'm only getting 300 lb of compression max. So maybe it's something else.
I've got white smoke out of my Volkswagen TDI right now but it's not from a stuck injector, I think I've got way too much air in the fuel lines. I've seen big cam 400 Cummins pistons with holes like that though lol.

I have a 55hp yanmar turbo diesel. Had a runaway..injector running full open. Had injectors completely redone.now have some greyish smoke. Not as much but it's there at idle and at any speed. Changed oil, all filters,inspected mixing elbow(wet exhaust), ran out of jerry can, made sure return line returns fuel..inspected turbo..intake side is clean. Exhaust side is black and sooty. The turbine spins freely by hand..any suggestions would be appreciated.
After a long drive I turn off the truck. then 10 to 15 mins later I go to start it I get a puff of white smoke then it goes away. It seems to help when I let it idle before trying it off when I remember. What could be the problem? Thanks
My Mercedes has been driving for two years with white smoke coming out the exhaust never mind twenty minutes. Next thing this man will tell me diesels don't have throttle butterfly's!

Researching buying a 6.2 diesel step van with a lot of stinky white smoke but no blow by. It's got a 107K so the odo reads. I've read bad fuel, change the fuel filter, injectors, injector pump, head gasket issues, etc. Any thoughts on this?
Sir how about if the engine is in neutral , no's smoke out but if you shift to engage the clutch and already shifts they have super smoke white out from exhaust , What is the problem? Thank you
Hi sir I have a diesel that has sat for over a year, should I expect the compression to be lower than normal.this is a cold test,engine not running.thanks
General rule of thumb is that metal expands when it's hotter and contracts at cooler temps. If it's still in good shape and the rings aren't gone the compression shouldn't change much whether it's cold or hot though in my opinion.
If it was my boat I would run it with a Chevy 350 4 bolt main and auto transmission and instead of gasoline I would run it on propane , Tell me if you have the time if you think it would work ? The reason I picked a Chevy 350 engine is cost to repair a 350 engine , I can completely rebuild one for about $400.00 dollars . And Chevy parts are cheap and Propane doesn’t go bad you can store it forever and it’s as good as when purchased and it’s safer than gas or diesel ! I have duel fuel generators that run on gas or propane . But I only use propane because like I said propane doesn’t go bad and gunk up the fuel lines ! My generators start perfectly every time , and all I have to do is open the valve on the Propane tank and turn the key no muss no fuss
This has been happening to many people with the 2.8 diesel in the Canyon/Colorado because GM decided to install injectors that are running to close to the max rail pressure. Causing the injector to stay open and burn a hole in the piston within seconds of the injector failure. You don’t have time to shut the engine down before it’s destroyed. Years effected are 2016-2018 In 2019 GM changed the injectors to handle higher rail pressure and fix the issue. GM will not update the early years engines. Typical….
Once you blow up that engine it`s not jus a bunch of injectors to replace... might have a bunch of valves that went right through the pistons, sleeves are fucked for sure, might even bend a connecting rod and punch a hole right through the crankcase. An actual crankcase on some engines is just more expensive than buying a used complete engine and rebuilding it.
@@dylanjacobs7509 A complete rebuild on one of these in my area of the states is $5000-$8000 depending on what is wrong. 6 reman injectors swapped in is $2400.

Not pump, could be injector. See above answer. Or could be low compression - worn or broken piston rings, bent push rod or bent connecting rod. Good luck and let me know how that goes
@@dieseldoctorlane Recently while driving my diesel all the sudden lost of power, it barely move to 15kmh with massive of black smoke. Seek yr help and what is the problem with it, thanks
Hello! I'm Caleb from the video. blowby is caused by excessive ring wear. All 12v injectors are located out side of the valve covers, so if compression leaks by the injector it can only vent to atmosphere
No injection of fuel has nothing at all with blow by its either ring or bore wear possible rings carboned especially if they are low tension compression rings
You can be a great mechanic but nobody enjoys doing business with a filthy messy shop with junk piles everywhere. Professional means a lot of work these days.
That is the truth but some of the best mechanics don't have the clean the shops and you know why because all the trials and tribulations over the years and stuff they've saved they get attached to when a job comes in and you need a bolt or you need something that you can't yet or they don't make no more you know where it's at but other people don't know where it's at and they don't know what it is that you have you could have $100,000 worth of Parts it in there and people think it's $500 worth of scrap steel but I stay organized I'm a mechanic and body men for the auto in I stay very organized with all my tools and everything I have it makes life so much easier when you go to look for something and it's right where you need it to get the job done or project done completed

i appreciate the information and effort dont get me wrong, but its hard to watch, bit of rambling and getting a little too basic, most people on youtube looking up diesel diagnosis know what a turbo charger is no explanation needed, spitting and sputtering one word at a time working through pure basics its just dragging it out too much whats needed most is troubleshooting trees, if theres white smoke check this if thats fine check this, if thats fine check this, if thats bad then its either this or that use this test to figure out which it is.. no need to walk through bolt by bolt or explain every component on the engine, your audience has common sense were the rare few, we just need a little nudge in the right direction
14k to rebuild an engine? Those must be your own hanging there cause idk anyone dumb enough to pay that. I can rebuild the series 60 in my W900l for almost half that..

You have the odd ball year with the weird injection pump i hope you didnt put a ds4831 5521 in cause you will destroy the motor if they sold you the wrong pump
Just had my injectors replaced with Bosch injectors. Runs perfect but when i put my foot on the accerelator i can see white smoke coming out with the black smoke. Ive driven about 400 miles since injectors replaced. What is causing thr white smoke on my 2005 ram 2500 5.9L 24valve?
I’m not the expert but it might be dumping too much fuel to burn especially if the injectors are way over stock.
@@zapdotshimmy Yes that's exactly right. Or John you could have broken piston rings

Dear doctor my car is getting white smoke from exhaust .. no pickup problm,no milage prblm..no intimations.no turbo prblm.no coolent oil mixied prblm.. only white smoke..what will I do? One of the mechanic told me that it’s related with the diesel pump issue..is it possible?
Not pump, could be injector. See above answer. Or could be low compression - worn or broken piston rings, bent push rod or bent connecting rod. Good luck and let me know how that goes
Overfueling?
How bout blue smoke during idling?
Bad turbo charger.
@@dieseldoctorlane Recently while driving my diesel all the sudden lost of power, it barely move to 15kmh with massive of black smoke. Seek yr help and what is the problem with it, thanks
Hi, I have a big cam 4oo engine I'm looking for injectors. I'm in South Africa.
No problem. You give me the CPL number and I can get any number of injectors. Email me.
This is why i like petrol engines, more power cheaper to rebuild.
Not nearly as reliable
@@tylerrichardson7406 the old school ones agreed but new school no way
What if when i floor it it has white smoke on my 06 ram 2500
Need to advance pump timing about 2 degrees
Can a bad injectors cause blowby on a 1993 12v?
Hello! I'm Caleb from the video. blowby is caused by excessive ring wear. All 12v injectors are located out side of the valve covers, so if compression leaks by the injector it can only vent to atmosphere
No injection of fuel has nothing at all with blow by its either ring or bore wear possible rings carboned especially if they are low tension compression rings
You can be a great mechanic but nobody enjoys doing business with a filthy messy shop with junk piles everywhere. Professional means a lot of work these days.
That is the truth but some of the best mechanics don't have the clean the shops and you know why because all the trials and tribulations over the years and stuff they've saved they get attached to when a job comes in and you need a bolt or you need something that you can't yet or they don't make no more you know where it's at but other people don't know where it's at and they don't know what it is that you have you could have $100,000 worth of Parts it in there and people think it's $500 worth of scrap steel but I stay organized I'm a mechanic and body men for the auto in I stay very organized with all my tools and everything I have it makes life so much easier when you go to look for something and it's right where you need it to get the job done or project done completed
Then take off down the road and go see a "technician"
I would trust that shop with piles of parts over that gloss floor tech safe space.
@@frankmaddalena8570 Truth!
Shop mess goes through cycles. Too much many jobs means focus on getting the trucks out of the shop and the truckers back to making money. Clean up comes later
@@acemogany6369 Yes you are correct. Shop mess goes through cycles. Too much many jobs means focus on getting the trucks out of the shop and the truckers back to making money. Clean up comes later, hopefully
Qwantwz hp??
New injectors are cheap insurance
i appreciate the information and effort dont get me wrong, but its hard to watch, bit of rambling and getting a little too basic, most people on youtube looking up diesel diagnosis know what a turbo charger is no explanation needed, spitting and sputtering one word at a time working through pure basics its just dragging it out too much
whats needed most is troubleshooting trees, if theres white smoke check this if thats fine check this, if thats fine check this, if thats bad then its either this or that use this test to figure out which it is.. no need to walk through bolt by bolt or explain every component on the engine, your audience has common sense were the rare few, we just need a little nudge in the right direction
No this guy a dreamer not mecanic basic white smoking yes injector leak this engine showed drive for 1000 mile before failed on full injection open
Cute boy
What about on startup?

14k to rebuild an engine? Those must be your own hanging there cause idk anyone dumb enough to pay that. I can rebuild the series 60 in my W900l for almost half that..
