My Excursion is smoking pretty bad, may be bad injector, turbo, or with my luck, maybe a broke ring or worse. It idles rough, but does smooth out and runs great with a lot less smoke when under a load, but as soon as you come to a stop, it smokes like crazy. Seems to have plenty of power, when it started smoking I was pulling a 24ft enclosed car trailer, and it did fine. Smoke seems to be blue, not white. Talked to the Local Ford Dealer, he was talking crazy talk, 1500,00 for a turbo, injectors replaced, 3000.00, etc.
I just had the Hi Pressure oil Injection pump replaced at a Ford Dealer in NC, cost me 2700.00. I was broke down, and had no choice but to have it towed in there. I would just like to find someone in this area that knows the 7.3, and how to diagnose what the problem is, without just replacing expensive parts.
