What I've got are worn tings creating a large amount of black smoke coming out of the blow back hose off the crank case upon excelleration.
The motor either needs the crank/piston/rings replaced or a new used motor swapped in.
At best the truck maybe worth 20k.
The fix is at least 10k. I hope to get some firm numbers today.
In the mean time I'm going to put together a ProMaster/ Everest package

The mechanic hopes to find a way to filter/ contain the smoke so we can continue to use the truck while we figure out the next move for it..
Thoughts?

20 K the way it sits or 20K after you throw the 10 grand in it?

How many miles, hours are on it?
Black smoke is fuel related, Blue Smoke is oil related as far as engines go. Have the do a compression test that will tell you if it is pistons or rings.
Blow by not good. Marvel mystery oil. Put it in.

I having going through this with my Volkswagen transporter. Wasted a lot of money replacing things that mechanics said we're faulty, still blowing black smoke. Had a backyard mechanic retime my fuel injection pump, replacing the sending unit and fuel line. Running great now but I have already transfered my cleaning unit to different van. Up for sale again. Have a proper diagnosis done. Maybe fly Bawb down there to confirm. If you put the ten grand in, what is the added lifespan compared to $70,000 or so with a new unit?

I think we lucked out..
The gummed up Cat was putting too much back pressure on the engine, causing excessive oil consumption..
Off she goes...Bad kitty!

If I was you..I would move ahead with a different machine...engines don't like to be back lashed that... It's just a matter of time ....at least now maybe you can get ahead of the game before it does blow.... Let the old girl die with dignity
