Ok heres the lowdown on my company work truck. its got 126000 and a few problems. first thing is it smokes terrible bluish white smoke if it sits and idles for a while like 20 mins or more. then when i drive it itll put out a huge cloud of smoke for about 100 ft then quit. but at idle anytime u can definately see white smoke badly. heres some back ground to maybe help. i work for a truckin company that hauls trash to landfills. this truck is 2wd and gets stuck all the time in the landfill. so i give it hell to get it unstuck. plus i ran it out of fuel one time and played hell tryin to get it started after i did all the nessecary stuff short of ether. well i finally used ether cause i was on the side of the road at 9 at nite and i needed to get to the shop still. so i unhooked the air heater, took off the intake tube and had my buddy crank it while i fed it ether till it ran on its own, at one point tho it ether locked, you know, like deadheaded so i quit for a while. well i gave it ether for 30 sec until it ran on its own. the other problem is that when i really get on it, sometimes from 2nd to 3rd shift it bogs. what happens is i get about 3 grand and the power just kills out and it lingers there until i let off or i hold it to the floor the it pick up 500rpm and shifts. but it just hangs there for about 5-10 secs until shifting. and im not sure but i think i see a little black smotke also. well any help i will certainly appreciate.
