Welcome to the Diesel Stop

Any idea what the smoke smells like?? Brown/yellow smoke is not a color I have encountered. Did you have the fluids changed at a shop? Maybe someone over filled the oil, or put the wrong stuff in the wrong fill hole...

If it smokes at idle and gets worse at full rpm I would guess a blown tip on an injector. Bad fuel or varnished fuel will cause the color smoke and could blow a tip on an injector.

It is said if you sit by the river and watch the water flow by long enough, your enemies will pass by. This I believe to be true. It is also possible to watch your loved ones pass by as well.
