Hey Guys,
Need your help again. I just finished driving from Ottawa to Newfoundland and somewhere along the way I noticed that my truck is blowing a decent puff of black smoke when accelerating through 2nd,3rd and 4th. Typically when the RPMS get around 2000, so it appears when the turbo kicks in. At idle there no smoke at all. I would like to get the problem fixed before my return so I am hoping some one can offer some suggestions.
My truck is a BJ-74, 13BT 5 speed running 33x10.5s with 77,000kms on it. Before I purchased the truck, around 67,000 kms, the valves were adjusted and the timing was done, so I am not thinking that is the problem..however you never know???
I have looked through the manual and it suggests to check the air filter before anything, and it is very small amount of dirt but you have to look for it. The manual also mentions to adjust the timing , it states black smoke means timing is advanced,??
Any help would be appreciated.
Also are there any venders here on the list in Canada that carry 24v Pyrometers that I can get shipped to Newfoundland this week? From what I have read through past post, it is something that I really should have to keep help me monitor my temps. The drive through New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and accross Newfoundland was pretty hilly, so I am thinking I would get one for the drive back to keep an eye on the temps just in case that was the cause, especially since I am towing a trailer adding about 1500lbs load.
Thanks,
Todd
