hey everyone the other day i noticed my truck ('98 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins 12 valve 4x4 auto odometer = 178XXX) was smoking white from the bottom and i followed it and discovered its from the blowby tube is this BAD Please let me know wat this could be and if it is bad or normal let me know please

I also posted thiese videos so you all could see what i mean thanks





Please let me know thanks....

 

Normal ,mine does the same thing 150,000 miles ,search breather tube ,lots more info. Crankcase is vented to the atmosphere so you see the vapors, gas engines have pcv valve so the vapors are routed through the engine but it is still happening. Don't overfill your oil I usually leave it about a quarter of an inch below the full mark, 10 1/2 quarts when I change my oil and filter instead of 11.

 

That doesn't look excessive to me.

 

oh maybe that could be it thanks again...

and so this dosnt seem like a problem??? Or is it like critical??

 

I don't see anything smoking. You might be seeing a little water condensation.

 

Looks like mine too...glad to hear it is not excessive.

 

oh ok thanks so this may not be like a huge problem or so like it still looks ok?

thanks aagain

 

Check for vaccum leaks the vac pump will pressurize the crank case.
