It does not evaporate. Would cloud up the whole block if I let it run.

May seem like a strange question but does the smoke smell sweet? Burning coolant has a sweet smell. I suggest a compression test.

How is your coolant suited to the cold weather? Any chance of the block freezing?

I wish I could tell. I did smell it but I obviously have no idea what to compare it to. It smells nasty, not like typical exhaust if that makes any sense.

Have you checked plug wires are routed correctly ? Seems simple but worth a look...

Just saw 2nd part of your question. I don't think it's possible for block to have frozen. Coolant is appropriate and truck is kept in a garage that I have heaters in (for the dog) when cold...

How long did you stand there sniffing the exhaust?

Till the wife told me to stop...

That's what I'm talking about! Tell Grogan to add a zero to those offers.

You'll figure it out.

Thanks. But if he adds a zero to the 5,000...I think I will quit this one.

Going into a proper mechanic tomorrow. Tired of not knowing.

 

[MEMCruiser]

^^^^^this!!

 

[ntsaint]

Went to crank it to drive it on trailer...starter quit.

Winched it up, took it to mechanic, told him to call me when it runs and drives.

Ugh.

 

[southff4]

Hope it's something simple... You'll love it again when it runs right.
