Hey everyone, this is my first post ever on this site, and I could really use some advice or help.
I have a 2014 ED, fully deleted and tuned, and a few weeks ago it started having an issue where it billows lots of white smoke on startup, and sounds like an old tractor in the process. Regardless of the temperature outside, and if I have the block heater plugged in. I took a video a little bit ago:
My fuel economy has also gone down quite a bit, I'm averaging around 18mpg with 35x12.5" tires, and a 3 inch level/lift, and I started actually being able to 'roll coal' when I put my foot down.
This is how it acts after sitting all night, and morning, on a 60 degree day.
I dropped it off at a diesel repair shop on Monday night, and they say it needs 6 new injectors, because the 'numbers aren't where they are supposed to be'. That immediately struck me as someone who didn't know WTF they are talking about, and just wants to start throwing parts at the issue. He also said that it looks like one of my injectors is leaking, but it's impossible to tell which one it is.
Getting a second opinion is going to be tough as well, because every shop and dealership around is backed up at least 2 weeks.
I know the video isn't much to go on, but I'm just wondering if anyone has had these issues on their truck? I'm still in college and just bought a house, and I really can't afford to start throwing thousands of dollars worth of parts at this truck.
Thank you everyone!
