Re: Ford F-53 Black Smoke
Get it checked out for sure, any time you have smoke from the exhaust be it gas or diesel that means there is something not running correctly, the reason you are seeing the black then white smoke is the computer is increasing the fuel to compensate for the load of climbing the hill however because you are seeing smoke it is increasing it to far, once the o2 sensors respond and tell the computer that it quickly decreases it and you get the white smoke because it is leaning out the cylinders, most likely there is at least one sensor that while still working isn't sending the correct signal and the computer is struggling to find the correct mixture to run at, running a bit rich isn't a horrible thing other than bad gas mileage and possible fouling of plugs but lean can lead to a ton of problems most notably the spark plug issue that the V-10 has.431Views0likes0Comments
