It means that you need a valve job. The black liquid is oil from your engine. Your engine is not making a tight enough seal for combustion therefore it sucks in oil and uses it in the combustion cycle. Be sure and check your oil level as im sure that your truck is burnin the hell out of some oil lol
Your engine is most likely overfilled with oil. Check your oil and make sure it isn't overfilled. However a little oil coming out the exhaust isn't gonna hurt anything, your just gonna waste a heak of a lot of oil
White smoke is a good indication you have a blown head gasket. And/or a cracked head. Did you noticed, when it happened that the engine started running rough? Best i can do with little info.
When u see liquid coming out of you little dingy
If there is little or no exhaust coming out the pipe and a lack of power, it is most likely the catalytic converter bad.
Manual calls for .012 for intake and exhaust with engine warm. I would go .010 on the exhaust and as low as .008 on the intake, factory lash is a little loose in most mechanics opinion. Set factory and it will be a little noisy, but its your call!
No, but there's a permanent fix. The white smoke means you have coolant getting into the exhaust. Which means you've probably got either a leaking head gasket or a leaking intake manifold gasket. Replace them, and that'll solve the problem, as well as increase the longetivity of your engine.
It depends on what body style the the engine is in, whether it has single exhaust or duals. On my 91 K3500 with a 454 is on the passenger side exhaust pipe next to the transmission. They are usually a little higher up. Hope this helps.
The exhaust gets into the passenger compartment usually by a hole in the body of the vehicle. Another possibility is if there is an exhaust leak at or around the engine compartment,if this is so the ventilation for the passenger compartment can pull in the exhaust. Also you should check that the end of the tail pipe should stick out a little past the bumper.
The question could be improved to read: "Why does steam come out of the exhaust when I first start my vehicle?" Answer: condensation. When you shut-off your engine and the the exhaust pipes cool down, water will condense on the interior surfaces of the pipes from the warm air in the exhaust pipes. This water pools there until the engine starts up again. Then, it starts to evaporate and exits the tailpipe as steam. After all the liquid water evaporates and the exhaust pipes get too hot for water to remain on their surfaces, the visible steam will cease to emerge from the tailpipe. So, no; it is most likely not from a blown head gasket or a crack in the engine. If you are not losing coolant then all is well, drive happy
Yes. You need to unbolt the exhaust pipe from rear manifold and support engine and transaxle from above with engine hoist. Unbolt engine mounts and raise engine/transaxle to make clearance to remove oil pan. This is for V6 3.0 L engine. Yes.

I would suspect that you're actually leaking "soot". If the engine is running reasonably well and you're getting black liquid when the engine is cold, it's soot. Engines have to run a little "rich' (extra fuel) when they're cold and that sometimes produces a little carbon in the exhaust. Another thing that happens when an engine is cold, the EXHAUST and muffler are also cold. that causes some of the exhaust gasses to condense on the side of the exhaust system. Since automotive fuels are nothing more than complex hydrocarbons, a good portion of the exhaust gas becomes an oxide of hydrogen that we lovingly call "water". Once the water vapor cools on the exhaust system it condenses and picks up the soot and it all drips out, sometimes out of the back of the exhaust pipe, other times out of the "weep hole" of the muffler. If you feel that you're getting too much soot it might be a good idea to give the vehicle a good "tune-up", other than that, there isn't much to do about it. On the other hand, if it truly IS oil, that's leaking out, you have serious oil burning and it's amazing that the engine even runs.
the starter soleniod is the little round thing on top of the starter,on the front of the engine under the exhaust manifold.
