Was warming up my truck this morning and noticed SMOKE, no not fire but still something burnt up under the hood.
Took 3 turns of the key for engine to engage but now I think I burnt up much more then that, do not know how many minutes it was smoking since I was bring computer from house to truck.
Turned off key and motor keep running, unhooked battery and motor kept running, panicked, then remembered I have two batteries, unhooked second one and motor stops.
Now if I touch pos and neg on either battery it not only sparks but chips away at the post, I assume there is a short in the circuit but not being all the that mechanical/electrical not sure what it is.
Yes it smells like electric burn, stinks is better word.
Just how good are those FORD'S guys?
I have over 5 grand of extra's added, not factory or dealer.
SERIOUSLY do any of you know enough to possibly offer some serious help. This smoke was coming up from the drivers side under where the brake reservior is, I can see some blacken wires, not sure what they are for and not sure it is smoke or just diesel smoot.
I need this truck up and running, have work to do next week.
