Smoke from dipstick
So I finally got the truck up and running good and beat on her a little bit to really clean the carbon out as she has not had a good run in over 6 months. Alot of black smoke came out the exhaust when doing this but seemed to clear up quite quickly.
The concern I have is I am getting alot of smoke coming from the dipstick when the stick is still situated in the tube on idle and when I remove the CDR (PCV), alot of smoke is generating from this as well. I would not think this is normal but I am new to diesels and could be mistaken.
I am getting a code 25 right now that either indicates a MAT Sensor, Vacuum switching valve or ATS sensor.
I disconnected the vacuum from the wastegate selonoid yesterday to get some readings and I am at 19lbs. Is this normal and would that set a code when disconnecting for only 2 minutes?
Could the code 25 be causing the excessive smoke from the dipstick and CDR (PCV)?
Thank you
