Where do you trust to hav work done on your truck in chch nz & missing/white smoke
as the title say, where do you guys take your truck in for work.
Mine had the rear end drowned a few weeks back, the front was out of the water but the back right hand side had water up past the filler cap.. engine kept running till I could drag her out.. shortly afterward she lost power and created her own weather system of clouds... water sensor light came on from the fuel filter.. cleared that and shes been running okish. no water that I can see in the oil... but I've drained the fuel filter now five times (each time the water in fuel light on the dash comes on) and the last one was about 1.5 inches of liquid in a 1.5 litre water bottle..( great way to ensure no diesel gets on the driveway!!!) half of the liquid was water rest was diesel and black gunky type oily stuff...
So... current requirement is due to random missing and clouds of pure white smoke when no load is applied ( ie free revving of engine).
When I'm driving there is no smoking. Once shes... warmed up the noload smoking seemes to be less prevalent.
also I'm running her to the lowest I can on the fuel front... I'm going to drain the rest... Can I get access to the inside of the fuel tank via the boot hatch that has 3 bolts and an arrow stamped on it ?....
At the moment shes not missing so I'm hoping that this is just water related....
however reading the posts on white smoking are not very reassuring...
