    Hello I have a 1997 Freightliner FL60 with a Cummings 5.9 2 Valve. At low RPM and low throttle settings it is smooth. At around 1500 RPM while acclerating the engine starts to miss and blows heavy white smoke from the exhaust. If you let up on the throttle to partial throttle setting the engine smooths out and smoke goes away. It is not using water. Turbo seems to be operating. Please advise

    Buy a.new turbo and check.your oil level, if a seal blows it only shows when you try to.pull, dumping oil that burns a heavy.white smoke, yet back it down.and nothing.seems wrong

    Sounds like plugged fuel filter. This will lean out engine and cause white smoke.
