I know this isnt the right section, just curious. Does anyone know if there is a way to test for injector o-rings leaking or how to tell? Not sure that my blueish smoke problem isnt o-rings. They all got replaced when the motor was out, but guess they could still be messed up. :shrug:

Hey man, look up Rosewood Diesel. Jim, the owner, can give you more info about the injectors than you could ever want and is very easy to talk to. Good luck.

what year is your truck? On the non dead headed trucks (pre sd) you can look in the fuel bowl, filter for signs of oil aswell on the regulator screen for o ring material.

The later pink o rings are actually pretty good (as long as they are good quaility ford ones, i've heard jobber ones can be crappy imitations).

Does the truck just smoke or does it run poorly aswell?

If its your turbo seals, just make sure you check your intercooler for being loaded up with oil, or your truck might run away.
