Which one is it????

It's a real light gray almost white wit a blue tent to it.

Turbo seal? Exhaust wet at all? Seperate downpipe from turbo and see of the exhaust hoising has ANY wetness collected in the bottom of it

Have not checked that yet trying to upload a vid

try this let me know if it dont work

Video worked. How long has it been sitting for? This could be hard to narrow down... turbo seals, valve stem seals, rings....

How many mile?

You got beans stage II's on stock turbo? What kinda boost you seeing? Is your gauge acting funny?

I'd take off the intake and grab the turbo and feel around for shaft play and check for oil in the intake/exhaust to see if the turbos blowing oil.

Just noticed a 38r. How many miles on the 38r? Did you buy new?

 

[Tims02ford]

It's been sitting at ideal for 2-3 mins it has 159k the 38r has maybe 60k and I can hit 30 psi but it kind will Bounce little bit will pull the pipe off here in a day or two when I put a new ext on and the 38r was new

I'm saying how long as the truck been sitting w/out being driven? Sometimes oil collects in that case.

 

[Tims02ford]

O at most 1-2 days but this only happens when hot and first start up but cold getting on a hight way it will leave a trail of smoke and not being on it hard

 

[always-strokin]

Well these trucks pretty much always do that on the first cold start of the day. I bet valve seals are leaking tho or the turbo.

 

[Tims02ford]

How do I check valve seals

 

[ToMang07]

The only time mine ever smokes white is when it is REALLY cold, like 0*-ish, and that's only on start up.

*IF* I punch it at idle it will puff out black smoke (turbo lag) but even then only with the chip on and when it's cold.

to me that looks like a slight blue. My guess would be turbo. I'd definitely pull the intake and exhaust off the turbo, inspect the wheel/shaft and check the down pipe for oil.

My truck does the exact same thing when hot. I'll be following this thread to see how it turns out.

Any word here? Mines doing it too especially on decel. I bet its turbo seals as the exhaust is full of oil.
