Ok just got back in from driving my 2005 Ram Diesel..... I was wondering if someone could tell me what the drain hose is right near the fuel filter drain hose..... I noticed my Turbo sounding a little different so after I shut the truck off I could smell fuel and I looked under my truck and noticed that the fuel/oil what sprayed all the way to the tailgate so I restarted the truck and noticed that the fuel/oil is coming out of a tube (not the fuel filter drain tube) so then I decieded to check my oil level and notice that its overfull and smells like fuel..... has anyone heard of this???? and what could be the problem??
thanks

shut it down u probaly droped an injector, i did the same on my 06 about 2 months ago, i droped #4, theres probaly a wite smoke out of the tail pipe wile idleing. and thats hose is referd to a blow by tube, and pull ur box(if u got one) of before your take it in to get fixed

Is this caused because of the box I am using the XZT Quad 65 hp module????
I did take it off and since my truck is under warrenty I will get it towed to a dealer ....
also I was wondering does this hurt the turbo?? I notice it started to sound funny..... and should I ask dealer to replace turbo or check boost once they fix the problem??
thanks

no it shouldnt have been the box i have heard there having problems with this with truks without boxes, id dont even think the xzt is a presure box, but not 4 sure. it probaly got some oil in your turbo and exhaust mine still lightly white smoked for a day, till all the oil burnt off

superT

thanks for the help!! now I just hope that I didnt damage anything to bad!!.. I willl also do a search to see if the XZT increases fuel pressure... if so do you think this why I have injector problems?

texaspower19

its hard to say but i dont think its cause of the box, theres too many trucks with the xzt that didnt have this problem, i think there is a problem with some of the injectors, and how many miles u got

superT

I only have about 33000 miles on it...... anyway its underwarrenty..... thanks for the help..

If your turbo wasnt lubricated well (because of diesel in oil) It could be ruined. It does sound like a bad injector, I agree With Texaspower19. Let us know how it turns out.

OK my dealer called and told me that one injector is bad... and he informed me that the turbo would not be harmed because of fuel in the oil.... so my question is how do you check to find out if the Turbo has been damaged at all??? Would a BOOST test tell him???
I tried to convence the dealer to replace turbo seeing I am still under factory warrenty but he ensured me that it would be fine but couldn't tell me how he knows..

hey man u ever find out wat it exactly was, just wondering

superT

Ok going to get my Truck back from the dealer today..they said it was a bad injector...... so they replaced it and changed the oil and said everything is good!!! (well I still question if the turbo will be ok) looks like i will now install a boost gauge !!!
thanks

remove the air intake and try to wiggle the shaft up and down. Shouldnt be any play in there. Look for scuffs in the case from the blades too.
Also rotate it and feel for roughness or spots where it catches. Shouldnt be any

I am having the same problem with my truck. Does anyone know a way to test the injectors to see which one is bad without having to take it into the shop?

Thanks

Get a infrared temperature gun (approx $100.00) at automotive supply store. From cold start the engine and check the temp at each of the exhaust ports on the exhaust manifold. All temps should increase relatively evenly. If one seems to be significantly cooler than the other then the injectors, the injector may be washed out resulting in over fueling causing cooler temps. If the temp on one is hotter than the rest, may be due to a lean condition caused by a plugged injector.
