I posted awile back that i was having a problem with white smoke after the truck has been running awile at idle. Everyone semed to think it was the lift pump so i changed it out with Glacier Diesels kit. I have no fuel pressure problems now but the truck still smokes at idle sometimes bad somtimes not as bad and thats stock. When i tred runing it with my puck on it seams to be worse but it dose it with it on or off. Its been to the dealer three times and all they did was reflash the ECM ....helped nothing. I hear that the injectors can crack could that be it?

 

Check and see if you smell fuel in your oil and if the oil level is up. Also if the oil level is down a little check to see if you have a bad seal in your turbo and oil is making its way to the engine.

I would say injectors. I have white smoke now as well, and this is the third event. Both previous time it had been the injectors, she is going into the doctor now to have a DRB put on her to find the bad arrow this time. I have used spares that I have been throwing in since the warranty expired 40k ago. Hopefully these will get me by till I get a set to DonM for some reconditioning work and F1 tips. But if I were a betting man, I would deffinetly say injector related.

 

I had white smoke (really bad on cold startup) and it never went away. I had 3 DESTROYED injectors. Changed them and no smoke at all!

 

great to know, buy the whay why are the stock injectors so junky i didnt have to change my fords untial they were over 200k

 

whenever i had my powerjoke i would had to change injectors 4 times within 50,000 miles.

 

one question will injectors from the later 04s and up work in my 03

 

Let us know how it turns out when you pin down what is going on.

 

O i will looks like im going to swap out the injectors and see from there. Its cheaper and takes a hell of alot less time to do it myself then take it to the dealer...i cant be without my truck for a week so they can learn how to flash an ecm we do it at work in fifteen minites......retards

 

what do you mean, never went away? Like, it would smoke ever when warmed up? I mean, my truck smokes white like every other car out there at start-up whens it cold and goes away as soon as it starts warming up.

 

yea it starts after its warmed up....when i stop at a stop light it starts smoking like i just started it up.

 

Yeah, even after it was warm, it ALWAYS had white smoke; because of the injectors.

 

my 06 does the same thing on cold start up, dealer said nothing is wrong.

 

so that means im fine then? Here is my video start-up, and thats the only time it smokes and untill i get moving a little and then it warms up it goes away.

I ended up changing out 7 injectors b-4 my smoke problem went away. Even one of the new ones was bad. No problem since but I run Power Service everyother fillup, and I changed my filter from the stock 10micron to 2 micron.
