How cold is it where your at? If the grid heater isnt working and its cold it probably will smoke. Does it tick at idle even after its warmed up? Have you checked the oil to see if it risin?

im in ruidoso nm working ... around 7600 feet above sea level not that it affects anything... it gets about 45*at night and 65/75 during the day... it is a rough idle it sounds like the truck has a cam in it but after warming up a little bit the rough idle goes away and seems normal... checked the oil eariler and it was fine

When I had an injector mess up mine would smoke on startup and it would tick as I let out of the clutch, otherwise it ran fine. There is a wire somewhere on these trucks that will get the coating rubbed off and it causes them to idle rough but I cant remember where its at.

hmm i was think that i would just replace my nozzles with stock or maybe 50 hp ones... i will be doing a turbo and stuff in the future... you think it would be something just like the coating on a wire? i might just pull it apart and take a look around!!!
as far as the fan speed code... does that mean its giong out? i have been reading a lot and a lot of people say that they replace there and no more problems and some said it could also be a fuze??? anythoughs on the grid heater

If its an injector, nozzles wont fix it. Youll need the whole injector, you can get them from thoroughbred diesel for about $335 and they are site sponsors. It seems like the wire is buy the a/c condenser or something. I will talk to my buddy tommorow and ask him where the wire is forsure. There are pics on here somewhere that show where the wire is. I think there is a relay for the grid heater but i have never messed with mine so im unsure.

if it was the injector wouldent i have a code for the solonoid not the nozzle ovisly if it was a cracked nozzle diesel woudl be everywhere... not chance of a CP3 problem would it? truck does have 105000 miles? know its not much but........

thanks again:thumbsup:

If its an injector there will be diesel in the oil so it would need to be fixed asap. From my experience there will be no CEL or codes stored with a bad injector.

when we were working on my bros truck "ruidosododge" and he had a very rough idle and his truck through a injector miss fire code we replaced just the inj body and that fixed it... wish i could narrow it down some how

 

[OnThErOcKs]

anyone else any ideas???

 

[OnThErOcKs]

well i just checked my oil have not ran the truck in 2 days... and it is prolly around 3/4 of a inch over the safe zone on the dip stick.... injectors??? i have a friend at a dealer ship that i think is going to get me in after hours and see if we can diagnose the problem!!!

anyone else have any ideas i have no codes relating to injectors

do i need to replace my fan clutch? have not priced them but would it be worth it to just buy the flexalite fans???

last but not least the grid heater relay 1 low... what do i need to do there replace it or can i fix it some how???

 

[OnThErOcKs]

bumped .....

 

[OnThErOcKs]

any more ideas??? i think its a injector... for my main prob

but on the other codes does anyone think that the flex a lite fans are efficient or just buying another stock fan clutch???

Take your dipstick out and wipe it with a paper towel. If you get a wet "halo" around the oil you have diesel in your oil.

As far as the white smoke, I sometimes smoke white at idle and the past few days have been about 30-40 in the mornin. The grid heater code means your grid heater isn't working, the grid heater heats up the air going into your intake. The colder the air the more dense it is which means the more air you're getting as opposed to warm air. Which when you get more air than fuel you get white smoke (more fuel than air you get black). When it is cold it can't combust properly cause of the amount of air. Check the grid heater relay and wires on the heater itself and make sure it's all connected. Bet this get's rid of the smoke. :thumbsup:
