Hi, we have a recently purchased 1991 kodiak bucket truck with a 3116 and recently it started blowing white on acceleration. Truck starts right up, sounds good, but on acceleration (turning the pto on) the white smoke billows. Has a burnt oil smell to it. Guy we got it from said it had recently been serviced but when we changed the Fuel filters they was in pretty bad shape. I was leaning toward maybe the turbo leaking internally, but wanted to get an expert opinion. thanks (I should also add that when we first got truck, intercooler tube to turbo connection rubber boot was broken all the way around. Replaced this and cant say this is when it started for sure but just wanted to add that)
Ok, I fired it up before I started taking the turbo off today and when I first started it up it wasn't smoking, but after running it about 5 min is when it started, only smoke when you rev it. Took a couple of hours but finally got her off. Definately alot of oil in the exhaust. Turbo wheel felt like it had quite a bit of play maybe a 1/16" not enough to hit the housing but definitely feel it. I never messed with a turbo before, are they fairly easy to rebuild, best place to get a kit from?
