My 600 has been putting out white smoke in the morning also, It idles rough too just when I start it in the morning. But my gas mileage is staying around 15 in the city and 17 highway. I have know clue what to do about it?

My buddy had his truck reflashed....didn't do a thing

Replaced a injector.....#6 actually....and the problem is fixed....but his MPG still sucks at 12-13highway.

Nope on the $75. They are in the $600+ range,...... each!! One member posted $800 per on his truck. I just had 3 bad ones changed out and the truck runs a ton better but guess what,... I still have smoke. Probably have to take it in for the other three. And your right,...the test that STAR makes the dealer go through to get authorization for replacement takes a day per injector. Quite the pain.
