My 1hdft started doing the same thing, and it also seemed to be coming from the injection pump area. I was told it’s normal, but I don’t believe it.
Watching…
Great news everyone. Drained and cleaned the tank, lines & injectors, and replaced the fuel filters and she lives!
I showed my ass two days before Christmas and 4 days before my son was born. I had enough s*** piling up, so I appreciate everyone here helping me solve the problem.
Orison was...
Haven’t checked it yet but that’s first on my list. The issues arose after I filled up my tank so there’s a chance I put gas (prolly not the case) in a diesel or I put bad diesel in the truck.
All,
I’ve got an hdj81 with 1hdft engine. Been a great truck so far. Had a bit of a cold snap in houston tx today and my truck seems to be on the fritz now. Here are my symptoms:
1. White smoke - never had white smoke in the tail pipe until today
2. Loss of power - I can put my foot in the floor...
Thanks guys. Drilling a hole in the manifold scares the s*** out of me.
I don’t intend on tuning the IP, but given that this truck has 70k miles and will one day be my soon-to-be son’s, I want to make sure it lasts for years to come.
Here's the video. I've messaged the dude that posted it. The gauge readings are vastly different because of the cooling that takes place when exhaust travels down 2' of pipe. What you WILL notice in the video, is post-turbo EGTs increase in-concert with the pre-turbo. (with a bit of a lag).
If I drive at 70MPH for 30 minutes, it's 60-70F outside, it's 5AM, and the car had been warming up for 15 minutes prior to driving, and I do that for 3 weeks in a row, and my EGTs post-turbo are consistently 500F (+/- 100F), I can consider that "normal."
