i have been all over the internet and haven't found anybody with the same symptoms as i've been having and im sorry the post is so long but i want to make sure that everything is in there. because well sometimes its the little things that matter when diagonose.
so for the past few weeks my truck has been having a nasty fuel problem. my thought were the fuel filter bein old and dirty.
going down the road it would almost die out at the top of the gears(in 3rd gear at say 2000 rpm or 35MPH) and WHITE SMOKE. the only way to keep accelerating was to up-shift into forth and then it was fine. no more dieing out or smoke. then the same for 4th gear as well at 45MPH.
now it wasn't an everytime occurance either. it was sometimes when it was cold maybe once or twice while accelerating. sometimes when the motor was warm while accelerating.
about 3 days ago it actually died going down the road in 4th gear then wouldn't start again. it would crank hard all day and even almost turn over every now and again. i cranked on it for about 15 minutes and got it to run at idle for about 20 minutes then it died. then finally no start at all.
so i changed the fuel filter. i didn't however fill the filter up because i didn't have any new clean fuel to put in it. was that bad?
after chaning the filter it still cranks hard and wants to turn over but it just wont. since then i tried to bleed the high pressure side of the fuel lines. i used the banjo bolts on the side of the injector only before watching a video explaining how to do it and that you use the fuel lines themselves. anywho, i did get fuel from the banjo bolts on the injector but only from the 1-3 clyinders. the 4-6 cylinders were not getting fuel.
so this is where im at now. the truck would die out while accelerating and white smoke. it died. then changed the fuel filter. still wont start. fuel to the front 3 cylinders and not the back 3.
