Default smoke
I have a 86 1 ton that has an older 350 in it. The other day it started smoking (bad). It doesn't smell like oil, anti freeze or gas. What else could it be?

thanks

what color is the smoke? I'm assuming it's smoking out the exhaust?

White, really thick. I'm not seeing excess bubbles in the radiator.

Watch your oil level and the coolant level, one of them will go down. White would indicate coolant, but thick sounds more like oil.

Ha, Got a good one for you. My brother (who owns half the truck and drove it last) put diesel in it. So now I got to drop the tank and clean it out.
thanks for the help.

That would do it. That was a good one. Made me laugh.

It had about 8 gallons of gas in it then put about 4 gallons of diesel on top. Do you think if I put another 10 gallons of gas in it would hurt anything?

You might wanna fill it up. It'll take awhile to get it to run through. And it won't run to well.
Fill it with GAS though. LOL
