Consumer Description

SHORTLY AFTER THE TRUCK IS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE A CONSTANT PLUME OF WHITE SMOKE CONTINUOUSLY EMITS FROM THE EXHAUST. FUEL ECONOMY HAS HAD A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS. DURING LOWER LEVELS (1/4 OR LOWER LEVELS OF DIESEL) OF FUEL CAPACITY THE ENGINE WILL STALL AND DIE UPON TAKE OFF. ATTEMPTING TO RESTART AFTERWARDS WAS VERY DIFFICULT. DURING THIS PROCESS A "WRENCH" APPEARS ON THE DASH AND THAT'S ABOUT IT. I HAVE NOT CHECKED "CODES" YET AND THE CHECK ENGINE LITE IN ON.
