well it was before i found this site. I am from california and decided to help out back east after katrinas aftermath. So I bought some equipment and guys and headed out. We were back in alabama and then florida.Well I noticed that my truck was smoking bad! white smoke mostly at idle. well the rig was dirty so i took it to a car wash in west palm beach. I payed and walked inside. this was the biggest car wash ive ever seen. 4 lanes wide full of cars. and in florda the leave the cars running and doors open.
I got a drink and went out side to sit down. I noticed the smell of jet fuel i thought. but no it was my truck. I noticed a guy screaming his *** off i looked over and some how they pulled his porsche cyaenne turbo next to my truck. Guess what not only his vehicle but several others were now ingulfed in raw diesel smoke, I couldnt help but laugh(and hide) well i waited to get back to cali to have it looked at and it was injectors. Imsure mine went out due to crappy fuel i had been putting in it how ever it was the funniest s&^% ive ever seen.
