Want this question answered?
yes., never do that.
No, with proper maintenance they will last past 500,000 miles.
Too many to list here. There are several thousand parts in a truck.
You should make sure that there is no major damage. You should make sure that there are not too many miles on it and that it runs smoothly and efficiently.
Depending on how many miles were put on the car a year(12,000 too 15,000), anywhere from 72,000 too 90,000 miles.
That is a necessary evil thanks to the EPA. A diesel truck won't pass emissions without one. Chevy and Ford have them too, they catch the black soot that diesel engines are famous for and store it. When the filter gets full the truck injects raw fuel into the filter to re-burn the soot, Unfortunately dodges think they are full all the time and have a steady stream of diesel pouring into the exhaust helping you burn that $4.00 a gal fuel. But it could be a Ford and shoot a 10 foot flame out the exhaust burning up the RV or load of hay your pulling.
500,500,990
1533 miles
200,000-250,000 miles
The smoke is unburned fuel, if a truck or car smokes to much it means there is too much fuel being put in the firing chamber, this may or may not be desirable.
If you are talking about standard #2 diesel fuel oil and not motor oil and you have a #2 oil fired furnace or boiler in the home the answer is yes .
Too many.
