rgreek Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 ok, here is the problem truck came in cranks like it has a damaged cylinder, but, when starts runs smooth and ids detects no missing,smokes like a train. acts as if it has an injector tip cracked.have been unable to identify the cylinder.ids with vcm 2 will not allow me to kill injectors. also am getting codes po611, and i believe p1378.is it possible that the ficm which is original could be causing this issue?

Matt Saunoras Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 try and restart your session. I'm having hit or miss injector cancel buttons on both 6.0s and 6.4s with the VCM II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 What are your FICM voltage readings on datalogger showing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mutter Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 You have an uneven sounding crank. Does relative compression show any low cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Manual comp test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgreek Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 not yet, it has a lot of wiring and addons that have to be moved to get to the glow plug.but, i can say when running, it is smooth just smokes really bad. coolant level has not moved. i even checked with my other scanner and percent delete was showing no abnormal activity.

Steve Mutter Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I would do a manual compression test. I had one that had an uneven crank but would run smooth with white smoke. I found low compression and found a valve seal issue. The guide was trashed and the valve seat was not sealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Quote: not yet, it has a lot of wiring and addons that have to be moved to get to the glow plug I would lift the truck chest high and pull the inner fender liners to get to the glow plugs. As long as the bus bars come out without a fight then it's a quick test procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
