Re: truck running REALLY rich

well, it smokes constantly, but at least it's starting now. Lot's of really light smoke at all times, and it smells really rich. I drove it around the block and never got into boost (about 1-2lbs vac is as high as i got) and when I got back to my house (maybe 5 minutes) the turbo was smoking...a lot...just like last time. I don't get the whole smoking turbo thing...and I'm hoping the rich smoke is o2 related and not someting horrible in the engine (it's been rebuilt twice now by rpm...I can't afford round 3). Since the last build I've only put maybe 3k on it in the last 8 months (this truck is my dd by the way, so i've been walking a lot).

Re: truck running REALLY rich

check your oil for water and if you have a leakdown tester put in each hole and look for the water level rising in the radiator. hopefully it wont be.
