Mine quit smoking and seems to be running fine. Drove it and been idling for several hours. Had some fuel injector cleaner in there. Could that have caused the smoke. Used it pretty rich because of advise from a dealer. Said to not do it often but could help. That was before I knew about the push rod.

I will check em out. Thanks

Not sure which cylinder it was they fixed. The dealer didn't know either just that it was an exhaust spring. The push rod was #3 on the intake. So I'm not sure. Just lookin for ideas of where to start. The rod was bent a little about 3 inches or so up from the cam. It broke in half about half way up. Try to send a pic when I figure out how.

I talked to a diesel mechanic yesterday and he said the push rod could have broke because the other dealer probably didn't replace It when they fixed the broken valve spring. I haven't checked the injector so will do that. All the valves and rockers seem to be fine. I just pushed on them to make sure they were opening and closing. And the rockers worked them back and forth and they move smoothly.

I was driving down the hwy when my truck started running rough and smoking. Had to go about 20 miles to my destination. Found a broke push rod in #3 intake. Replaced the rod and checked the valves. Valves seem to be operating fine.Clearance is good. Truck runs good but when accelerating still have white smoke pretty bad. Truck is an 04 3/4 ton HO. Did have a broke exhaust spring in 2010. It was fixed by dealer. Need some help. Thanks
