I recently purchased a '97 International 4700 with the dt466 engine.
When I first start the truck and it is cold, I let it warm up for at least a few minutes sometimes longer 10-15 minutes before I try to take off. When I first take off the truck can barely get out of it's own way. It won't rev up, just sort of stumbles and pour whitish smoke out the exhaust. After about 1/8 mile it will upshift and drive 100% normal the rest of the day.
The only problem I have with this, is that we have to pull up the the driveway out of the shop and onto the road, and the lack of power is causing problems for safely being able to get onto the road.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Tim
