since its been cold out ive noticed im gettin white smoke i no this is normal on start up and idle for a little while but its realy smokin alot and even after i run it for a while so im guessing its unburnt fuel wich in turn would make me think its running way to rich my buddy says the moter is skipping every now and then ? im guessin my o2 sensors need to be reaplaced but what else would cause this havnt changed out the bosch +2's yet would that help at all also i did get a misfire code a couple weeks ago but went away

 

chances are it didnt just 'go away' it is probably just stored. try the on-off trick and see if you can still read a code. then follow the code trail.....

 

i did read the code it and when i looked it up it said cylinder misfire or multiple misfires bla bla bla basicly it misfired and threw a code kept driving it since it didnt seem to make a diff and the light went away

 

those bosch plugs need to go bye bye, white smoke after start up is normal, thats the condensation steaming off. how long does the white smoke last?

 

well i was running it for id say a good 10 to 20 min and it didnt seem to slow or stop run i mean start it and drive about 10mph in first for about 1 mile and a half down our property to our camp and back

 

that sounds about right, how cold was it?

 

yeah dude you're not exactly evacuating all that condensation considerably fast. my truck will smoke on a cold morning, maybe 50 or below. but not even in 2 mins am i on the highway and already into the throttle blowing everything out. get you're hands on a thermometer gun and with the engine at operating temp, point the gun, considerably close, to each exhaust port on the manifold and get your temp reading. the coldest cylinder is the one that's missing. it can be off by a considerable amount, but anything significant, pull the plug. examining the plug will too tell you whats going on inside the cylinder. however do yourself the favor and put copper core plugs into that engine, those bosch plugs have too high of a resistance, causing them to foul up easily. ive pretty much came to the conclusion dodge ignition systems aren't up there in amperage.

 

im gunna pull the plugs a soon as i can who do u no carrys auto lights 3923 ??? napa i dont think auto zone or advanced auto do ? or since its not modded heavly moded should i just stick with stock ?

 

napa carries autolite's, champions, and ngk's last i remember. when i had the autolite's in my truck, i honestly wasnt all too thrilled with them. i switched back to the ngk v power and i seem to get slightly better fuel mileage and more pick up on acceleration. each vehicle is different however.
