Hello from CA - newbie - 94 Mighty Max

[Abe T]

Hello All,

I'm new to this forum and have registered because my truck needs work. A good friend just gifted me his favorite truck, a 94 mighty max. According to my friend the auto trans was rebuilt along with some suspension and rear axle. However, the max is burning oil (no big deal) and it didn't pass smog (i'm in CA). Smog results said something about OBD so i used a voltmeter and got a Code 11 (thanks youtube). Now i need to search the forum on a few things to see if i can fix this myself or if i should get it to a trusty mechanic. Wish me luck

Abe

Hi and welcome to mightyram. Primary cause of oil consumption is bad valve stem seals. These will also affect your smog test results but seeming it is also throwing an error code 11 - bad O2 sensor. That will definitely end your chances of passing smog if the O2 is non functioning. An easy fix
