MY NEXT STEP IS ALOS TO CHECK ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

ANY SUGGESTIONS

Sounds like a broken Piston connecting rod or Water in Fuel.

Check the following and if they are ok get a proper mechanic to chk your vehicle:
Air filter is clean
All Glow plugs working
Fuel filter clean (not plugging)
Engine Oil is correct for vehicle & Oil Filter
Fuel tank free of water(If in doubt drain and clean fuel tank and refill)
Strainer (If present) on inlet to Fuel pump is clean.

THANK YOU I WILL CHECK THAT AS WELL BUT MECHANIC SAY PISTON IS GOOD CONNECTIN ROD TOO IS ACTUALLY A MECHANIC FROM FORD IT SELF OPENED IT UP AN HE SAYS ENGINE IS GOOD AIR FILTER I RUN A K&N FILTER WHICH MAINTAIN TOO BUT I WILL TELL MY MECHANIC TO DO THIS CHECK WILL FUEL TANK, FILTER. I USE VAVOLINE OIL IN IT I CANT REMEMBER WAT BODY BUT THATS WHAT I WAS ADVICED TO USE

GOD BLESSING TO YOU

Is this the Common rail engine? Do you use a treatment when filling up? Is the smoke only on startup or throughout operation? Try using Amsoil Cetane Boost ( Full bottle to a Full tank of diesel) Run the Engine let this flush through your system and see if anything changes. Another thing to clean is your MAP & MAF sensors.

If still no luck try scanning the vehicle for any errors.

To check if pistons and connecting rod bearings are good u have to remove each one and inspect. Did he split up the block? Cuz to me it sounds like a piston damage or a piston ring broken. U can do a compression test in each piston chamer to ensure all are firing correctly. White smoke is usually oil burning and a broken piston ring is usually the culprit.

Thank u yes the mechanic split block everything still out as for pressure test I am not sure but he says everything is good but I will suggest to him he do a second inspection especially on piston and it's rings thank u all so much for ur advice I will keep u all updated

My fingers are crossed
Praying my baby is back on the road
