Smoking While on a Incline

Lol seriously bad timing and word choice in that video. Richard starts the truck behind me and I say you are stalled on the trail somewhat poking at you not making it to the hard part yet hahaha

 

I will have to investigate this later when I have a chance.

 

ah ok, thought they were referring to your truck.

Its definitely an odd thing, really interested to hear what it is.

 

I noticed that earlier

 

I didn't at all lol. I apologize for that haha

 

No worries, I am just happy to have it on video

 

Me too, I'm hoping it helps get it solved. It very clearly shows everything that's happening so somebody has got to know...we just have to find that somebody..

 

It would be real easy to check.

 

I know what the dealer would say hahaha

 

I didn't smell anything, but it was drifting away from me. Still reading, but checking the oil level after it sat at the clearing for a few minutes showed it just slightly below halfway between the measurement dots.

 

sub'd

 

He would have made it to the top if it wasn't for the smoking.

 

Oh..

 

I've tried it in similar cases. It's useless. But MTS works great

 

Ticking noise could be denotation (ping) from the oil seeping past the valve seals and lowering the octane of the gasoline.

 

I'm guessing oil from the pcv system into the intake. When I switched to a cold air intake, the tube had oil in it. Quite a bit.

 

So by that logic, if this is true. A catch can would alleviate this issue?

 

I have heard that some vehicle's ( usually boosted) need them. The hemi's usually need them. I don't know of anyone using them on our engine to see if they caught any oil in them.

 

I am trying to jog my memory here but I swear I have seen another video of this happening.

 

Crawl control is just another tool. It's no replacement for skill but as someone who owns an old rock crawler I dig crawl control.
