Random Knocking And White Smoke???? Help!!!

Well Over The Past Few Weeks My Truck Would Randomly Start Knocking And Puffing White Smoke? Then If I Shut It Off And Let It Sit For A Minute And Then Start It Back Up It Seems To Run Fine. It Wont Even Throw A Code!! Could It Be Something Shorting Out In My Tst Box? I Checked All Electrical Connections And Everything Seems Fine. Please Help Asap
Thanks,
Matt

Does it happen at any particular time?

Or randomly?

Unhook the TST.... at least you can eliminate that.
Probably injector trouble though even if no fuel in the crankcase.... at least that is going to be my guess.

Mine was doing that for a month or so. Every so often I would start it and get the white smoke and miss. Then it wouldn't happen for a while, then it stopped. Went about 6-7 weeks and boom !! It's now at Dodge to see what is wrong. I'm pretty sure it's an injector(s). We'll see.

Get it checked.

Sounds like a injector hanging open. Go out and get some injector cleaner (Howe's, Seafoam, Power Service), run it at full strength for a tank and see how it runs after.

Pull your fuel filter and see how much crap is stuck to it...maybe a piece of stuff got by it and is hung up in the ball area of the injector.
