not to put salt in the wound

1st check ANY used vehicle out b4 purchase

a direct result of Issues !!..........screw ups...........neglect

2- year model & mileage are important factors ( 6or 4cylinder/ manual or auto transmission ) etc

3- be very deliberate in Ur approach to a solution

pull spark plugs have a look at them.............keep them in order of cylinders they come from

DONT make a jumble !! Examination could reveal which cylinder is down & WHY

while plugs out good time to do Compression test.............. COLD write numbers down

 

By blowing smoke it looks like a smoke screen behind you and the cooling system is almost empty unless you shut things down fast

Whenever you have a coolant system failure that was not a hose failure and easy to see .

Doing a cooling system pressure test is always a given it will tell you what is going on.

Who can say if a pre purchase inspection would have found it

A quicky Stop leak fix till the truck is sold fails first time the engine gets heat soaked.

Then it might be one of those random things that happen.

 

Smoke like steam or like like constant white/blueish smoke?
