About ready to get out of here for a while if I could.
Talk about construction, got the garage door installed last week and now I got a invoice e mail. WTF !!!!!
I thought you paid that and gave him a nice tip...
White smoke usually means you broke into the cooling passages...
Don't ask me how I know...
Just gave the installer a tip. Haven't paid for it yet.

Yep, my genny was taken by the squatters too. Still waiting for insurance to figure what they’re doing on it. The civil case is screwing with things

Meaning cracked block or head or could it just be the head gasket blown out between the coolant passages and the cylinder
White smoke means the coolant is in the combustion chamber...
I saw white smoke when I over revved the engine on the highway and the valve hit the piston and sent it through the side of the block... the connecting rod was bent like a pretzel...

All I know is this, I’m dreading tearing this ***** down. But for sentimental reasons, this one stings a bit. Especially being that it’s always been well taken care of. And only 178,000 miles on a Cummins.
I’ve lifted heads off the block before on my other truck sled pulling, but that’s with 80 pounds of boost or more. This one has never seen more than 35-40.

Almost noon hour here on the hill, hope everyone has a good one today.
Wife and I are cooking goodies for our neybor, he lost his wife two years ago, and his son on crutches lives at home with him, so sweets, sausage balls and a platter of Mexican chicken they enjoyed last Christmas.
Everyone keep your hart happy.

Thank you , yep, I was under my car on my back routing my shifter cable yesterday, I got back on my feet and figured I was on my back long enough, so I ran a few lights under my wife's supervision

My Son did the same with his truck anti-freeze in the oil , he thought he caught it earl enough. Changed the head gasket and the oil, week later good bye bearing. It wasn't a cummins so hope you have better luck .
