    ahh

    so i just got my truck back3 days ago. I got a cam putt,my heads worked,and a "HD" job on my tranny. and it felt weird when i got it,and the guy told me the cam had to adjust and what not. so yesterday i went and got my cats cut off and got a tune. so now,i try driving it,and it seems like its going to turn off,and its not responsive at all! i cant even try it right. and its throwing white smoke,it smells like gas. what could be my prob?

    the only time ive ever had one smell like gas and white smoke it had a broken rocker arm.....plus thats each to check....just pull the valve covers...takes like 10 min

    anyways, thats where i would start, i would check the things that are easy to check first and then move deeper inside if you dont find the problem

    yeah...make sure they changed valve springs, if they didnt it will cause a rocker arm to break, and/or bend pushrods

    You said you put a cam in... You did put in springs right?
