Hello All,
Its been awhile since Ive been here, I discovered the Motorcycle life and have neglected my truck :(.. Here is my Question to you all: Since they have introduced the "New Fuel" my truck is Smoking at idle and stinks real bad. Does anyone else's truck do this?
I dont know if its the Arizona fuel, but it is not like it was before. I have also noticed a mileage loss........

It might be your injectors going bad.

If your injectors have allready been done then the ones causing the smoke will have high negative balance rate numbers(usually above -4.0mm). I have found tha the recent injectors tend to fail by smoking. i believe that at idle the lower rail pressure is not keeping the tip sealed. Anyhow have the dealer install a Tech 2 and check the balance rates. I have been able to get my dsm to ok the bad ones within the 7/200,000
mile policy if they were allready replaced. If not dne yet then he lets me do all 8.
