White smoke is related to a lean condition, isn't it?

I've never seen white smoke from mine unless temps are in the single digits or below - and it didn't matter if I cycled the grid heaters once or twice.

Whats "alot" of smoke in your book? Like Cumulus-nimbus? lots?

No its not a cloud that "hides" my truck but it is quite a bit of smoke I would say a cloud the size of uum, a 50 gal. drum at most.It was about 80 deg. outside when it did it. I have read of some "flashes" being done on the new trucks what is this about?
