#78 A(ACLU) FNG
Okay, I finally have gotten to look at my mothers 01 dmax alli 4x4 with 230k on its clock. symptoms include loss of oil and coolant, white smoke at idle and upon acceleration. I topped the fluids off and checked the codes p0236 turbo boost sensor a circuit range/performance. p0380 glow plug heater circuit a malfunction. I also noticed motor oil leaking out of the tailpipe. I cleared the codes pulled the coolant cap off and fired the truck up. noticed horrible rattling in engine bay, saw idler pulley bouncing around, shut down and lubed and tightened idler pulley and checked all other bearings then started back up without rattling noise. coolant does not blow out of the top of the lid, does not run hot, and was not blowing any smoke unless I feathered the throttle and then its just a puff on takeoff. Truck seems to still run strong but I cannot hear the turbo spool. Given I only drove around the yard but I didnt hear it. I didnt notice any loss of power though. so my guess is that either a injector is bad(or a few) or the turbo is leaking oil somehow and or coolant. In the twenty minutes I ran the truck the coolant level never changed though. Anyone in the Currituck county or va beach area with a tech 2 so I can see the balance rates? Any other suggestions? Money is very tight with my mom so bringing it to a dealer is a no go. Thanks guys. -Justin
