Message: [QUOTE="snik, post: 1466544, member: 22405"] Hey guys, So I have an 06 250 w/ 266k miles. I'm the 3rd owner. Recently it developed this white smoke issue. I normally have minor stiction issues when it's cold, this "winter" not as much. Anyway, the last 2 months it started smoking a LOT. Usually anytime I come to a stop in traffic at a light. When I get on the gas to accelerate pooof. Huge cloud of white smoke. If I floor it I get black smoke, but you see the white smoke with it. Trucks cranks fine. Always on the 1st try. Idles smooth. I haven't noticed a change. Still gets 17/19mpg on the HWY and 14s around town. (According to the dash) Still pulls hard. Truck has an Edge CS tuner that I run in the normal tune. The one 1 up from stock and towing. Has 4-5" straight pipe. Upgraded cac tubes. Turbo is a rebuilt unit. I've got blue spring update. Recently replaced a bad glow plug and entire driver side harness. Occasionally I get a EBP sensor error, as I changed that back in dec? But I think I need to change the connector too. EGR ******d. CVV ******d. Routed to catch can then atmosphere. Water pump and fan clutch and coolant changed last fall. And I recently replaced the cabin hvac coolant valve as it was leaking coolant all over that Injector plug right below it. FICM stays 48-48.5v all day. Battery voltage reads 13.3-14v most days. My oil cooler is going to crap. I have an oem one at the house I'm gonna put on when I get back into town. Delta's at 13-15 these days. But the oil temp never exceeds 210. So not super hot. I'm also gonna get a buzz test done too. So I get white smoke at move off pretty much anytime I go from idle to move off. Sometimes when I've been driving all day, it will puff white smoke at idle, just sit there for like 2-3 minutes with white smoke. Then it'll stop. Then u move off and it will puff a huge cloud. Then another day it will do light clouds of smoke at move off then nothing. The smoke doesn't smell like oil. I mean it smells like an old diesel truck, but not like I'm burning oil. Always white. Never seen blue-ish color in the smoke. I'm guessing that Injector that got leaked on is f-ed. I didn't catch it in time as my wife has been driving it lately and doesn't tell me when stuff isn't right, till like a month later. I'm also thinking turbo seal based on some googling I did. I'm hoping it's one of these two, but a Diesel tech I know says he's never seen the seals really go bad on the 6.0 and that since it's not idling funny, or rough then I might have blown rings. Anyone ever experience this kind of white smoke. I can't afford to rebuild the motor I it's bad piston rings. I'll take a loss and let the truck go. I'm hoping it's injectors and/or turbo seals. Any similar experience. Oh, and I have 0 coolant loss. And oil consumption is as it has always been. Nothing excessive. My last Blackstone labs oil analysis had nothing irregular. No unusual wear, actually less than most 6.0 trucks with this mileage, according to them. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
