    Why does a 2015 Cummins QSB3.3 in a JLG telehandler blow white smoke and lose power under heavy load?

    If it's only happening under heavy load, I'd be leaning toward a fuel delivery or injector issue before the turbo. White smoke combined with a power loss can sometimes mean the engine isn't burning fuel completely, so checking injector performance and making sure the fuel system is maintaining...
