Smoke

[pruntyc]

No over heating problem. I had one before, till I changed the radiator cap. So not anymore, and that is pretty good with a 1700 which has no water pump. Was out again today, and no problem, it was just a one time thing. so I think it was probably from lugging a little and then I probably got on it a little quick and like one guy said with the sun and shade it was probably black smoke, but looked white, in the lighting I had at the time.

Mickey_Fx,
I just try to avoid words like: cant, wont, never, etc....
I have seen plenty of coolant consumption leaks while running, granted the cooling system would likely indicate it too.

I know on older gasoline engines in cars , it your fuel mixture was too lean ,inside your tail pipes would look white.I don't think this is possible with the autos of today with computer controlled everything .I don't know enough about a diesel to know if it would be possible to get too lean of a fuel mixture (all of a sudden) into the combustion chamber to puff a little white smoke.

I had the same type of thing happen on a 1401 we were getting ready to sell. I was driving it down the road on a test drive, slowed down to let a car pass, throttled back up and it started smoking a lot. It would run fine at low RPM but, sometimes, when I throttled up it would smoke and lose power. It turned out to be a piece of the inside of the muffler broke loose and plugged the exhaust. Sometimes the piece would get in just the right spot to block it significantly causing lots of smoke, sometimes it would land sideways and not cause and problems. Just another thought.
