I'm in a bind here 2500 miles from home. My truck started hazing white at idle, progressively getting worst the last few days. I noticed the tip was wet... The exhaust is filled with oil! The truck steady chugs white smoke at idle and cruising speed. Runs fine no ticks... Lots of power! I removed the intake an the small the turbo seems tight and fine, with a little bit of searching I have came up with it is the big turbo or it is the motor. In the title it says excessive blow by... It blew the cap out of my hand while unscrewing it. If the turbo is bad can I fix/replace the one or do I have to replace as a set? Is there a way to dismantle the set on the truck to check the big turbo? What do I need to do to see if the motor is bad?

The truck has an egr.. No dpf running mild HS tunes.

I'm located in Cambridge Ohio right now looking for a good shop, any reccomendations?

If the truck blew the cap out of your hand, I'm gonna have to say broke piston... Turbos may be hurt as well and may be contributing to smoke and oil, but I'm sorry to say that the truck is probably hurt bad.

How many miles on the truck? Although that doesn't seem to matter as much with these trucks and there piston problems, my money is on a cracked piston. Good luck dude, all the best!

The truck has 21,000 miles. I have been steady checking the oil since the truck started doing this 2 hours from where I am staying... It hasn't lost any oil. I'm not sure if it made any, what's the connection between making oil and the pistons? Fuel getting by?

I've set up to bring the truck to the dealer tonight after work for a diagnosis. Might be able to get some of this covered under warranty.
