Thanks for the lecture. Perhaps a better post would have been. 1) what's the ambient temp? 2) are you loosing coolant? 3) is it raining or is the humity high currently.
Perhaps starting simple and easy first as opposed to raising the alarm would be prudent.
My truck will puff clouds of steam all day depending on the temp outside. Turbos don't stop smoking when they are giving out and blow head gaskets usually come with loss of in cab heat. Given the season and what the op gave for symptoms I would put money on temps over other diagnosises provided.
As for never seeing a truck smoke after initial start up? Not all of us are fortunate to live in 80deg weather year round... Luck bastard.
1. I never suggest head gaskets or egr failure.. Read my post. Said it was highly unlikely.
2. Have you ever driven a truck still equipped with a dpf with turbos passing a little bit of oil? I have. My last truck did it. Smoke was intermittent.
3. I said the most likely scenario was regen, and to check the odor of the smoke. And it doesn't take but a minute to check for signs of other failure. If there is something to be found, better to find it now... But I'm sure we can all agree when I say I hope it is nothing! I'm sure it is nothing but it doesn't hurt to check.
4. You don't know where I go in the United States. Florida is just home. I travel all over for work. I'm currently in Oklahoma and last year this time, I was in Wyoming. I'm far from a lucky bastard in that aspect. LOL
Not trying to have a pissing match with you forcefed... I apologize if it came off that way.. :cheers:
oke: Not much info given here. Was the truck up to operating temp yet? Has it done this before or just starting to do it?
