Message: [QUOTE="Copracr, post: 220926, member: 4257"] I'm thinking about going to look at a 99 dually that the owner says blows white smoke but otherwise runs fine (that's all I know for now). It's super cheap and I have whole spare motor if I need it, but I'd rather know what I'm getting into so I know what's a fair offer on the truck. I need some advice for things I could check while I'm there. I've read some posts that say to pull the oil fill cap and check for "puffing" to tell if it's bad compression - true? does unplugging the ICP to see if it stops work? I have a snap on mt2500 but it only has a generic cart so i cant do contribution or buzz tests, but can I monitor for anything specific? Any other things I could check? [/QUOTE]
