Dads got an 89 GMC 2500 with about 130,000 on the clock. It was my grandfathers and well looked after.
It has always puffed a little smoke on startup. Now he says it's blowing white smoke constantly. I burns very little oil, and I immediately assumed water.
Told him to watch the coolant and report back. Other than head gasket, cracked head what other issues are out there? I've read everything about injectors, fuel pressure, valve train, etc.
Im going to check the plugs, compression, and leak down test this weekend.
Oh yeah I think it's a 5.7 (350 equivalent?) with TBI. Original motor.
