Nah. Mines just rare and very light when it does it. Hard to see the smoke unless it's the perfect light.<br>

Just made an 1100 mile trip and about 150 miles from done I was filling up and happened to look under the truck and noticed quite a bit of smoke or vapor or whatever coming from the tube. Very noticeable. The longest we ran before stopping was about 300 miles at 65 mph the whole way. No high EGT's or temps. Still a problem with my truck?

I think a little extra blowby after interstate driving is to be expected due to the higher compression ratio from running higher boost to keep speed up.
