What causes white smoke in the engine bay?
Normal causes for white smoke in the engine bay. During cooler days it is normal to see some white smoke coming from the engine. Internal combustion engines operate through the ignition of the air/fuel mixture and produce carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Little smoke is to be expected due to the condensation of water from the exhaust gases.

Where is the vacuum plug on a cat 3306?
There should be a 1/4″ pipe plug on the intake side of the blower, hook a vacuum gauge to it and see what you get, no vacuum…no good. Nige, please add your input. It has a new turbo on it this summer before I parked it until now, it worked fine when it was parked.
