Nasty San Juan mtn mud(seriously some nasty stuff to go through down here)... slicker than snot, how I made it through on the tires I have.... I have no clue lol and there's grass too hahah

Im pretty sure its gotten fixed since my little 4 wheeling accident. Atleast I hope they "replaced" it so I dont have to worry about for a little while.

But, it would decide to not kick in when I romp on the gas at times. Or! When I would be accelerating, I would see that nasty blue smoke. Not all the time, but at start up from sitting a few hours. So, I think it was a mixture of plenum and cylinder head, and not good seals?

I dont know, I just hope its all been taken care of now.

doesn't sound like it sounds like A: your valve seals/guides in the head are gone (can be fixed if thats the problem) or B: blow by in the cylinders which means your O-rings are fried.

the blue puff after its been sitting is oil trickling down your valve seals and resting on your pistons; then when it fires its nice and blue, but kinda goes away when you fire it.

the blue on giving it gas could be from the same problem. but it could also be shot rings. i'd say pull the heads and take a look (and do a plenum ) but that just might lead to another can of worms!

Yea, I was just talking to my dad and he told me that they replaced all the seals what not. But, the plenum..... Probably is another can of worms. I dont know if they even looked down there. I gotta call em and see if they did.
