    M880 5.2 smoke coming out of air breather inlet

    Been awhile, in fact it probably needs a rebuilt since I'm having to add fluid fairly often. On another note, I have a PTO gear box for the 203 TC plus drive line for it. Have you ever installed one for your truck?

    Thanks Bob! I'll start doing that. I had checked the fluid before all this happened and noticed the stick saying to check in neutral.

    M880 5.2 smoke coming out of air breather inlet

    Plug is in, truck starting better, but when I put it in Drive or Reverse, it dies. Have to restart and eventually it will do better. Haven't road driven it yet or up steep grades...maybe tomorrow if it doesn't rain, I can further test it. Found the plug that blew out sitting inside the frame...

    M880 5.2 smoke coming out of air breather inlet

    ...The one where the trans. to engine block sits. Reread my post and realized this part didn't make sense. It should have been, where the support bracket from transmission to engine is.

    Thanks Bob...will replace fuel filter and reset relay...I'm not clear on the fuel line at the fuel bowl...is that where the supply line goes into the Carb, where sometimes there is a filter? Not sure if I have one there.

    M880 5.2 smoke coming out of air breather inlet

    Having trouble starting and after a start, will run and then die. After several rotations of this, smoke will eventually build up in air breather. I would guess, gasoline not burning efficiently in combustion chamber and/or carburetor and timing issues. Anyone had this happen? Thanks
