    Smoke where I don't want it...Fried Piston? Injector?

    Crazy how that stuff gets in there. Never considered fuel diluting the oil like that. Glad you got it up and running again!

    Smoke where I don't want it...Fried Piston? Injector?

    Yeah me too. It would be way easier to replace injectors than pull a piston with cracked rings I think. Too bad you can't just pull the valve covers off like you could in the old days.

    Smoke where I don't want it...Fried Piston? Injector?

    Honestly if you plan on running that truck for a while, I'd find a used motor over on 105 at the salvage yard and have it custom built. but that's just me. Let me know if you find a stray LBZ sitting around :-)

    Colorado emissions

    I live in northern El Paso County. I get tested/inspected every year. I had to put a cat back in and remove the EGR blocker to pass. They don't know that the EGR is disabled via EFI live and still passes. Denver failed EPA air quality tests this year. Expect it to get worse, not better...
