White Smoke

Is it smoke or steam?

I will try to replicate today and see what it smells like. The two times I've noticed it was on a busy road. So far I haven't noticed any coolant loss or oil loss but this has just started for me. It is smoke for sure and is excessive. I will update with my findings and try to get a pic.

My truck has done this a few times. It looks like I’m driving a jalopy.

I thought it was from idling at a slight decline the first time. Nope, anytime I let it idle for longer than 10min it will pour smoke out of both tail pipes for about half a mile or so. Dealership literally said not to worry about it....

Maybe this is why no ones tailgating me...

I haven't seen anything but barely over 200 miles now

I was going to quip that if you can make your truck dispense smoke, or steam, this would be a feature, not a bug.

However, this could cause you to fail inspection in the more tyrannical states.
I don’t think I’ve had the truck idling for more than 10 minutes except for one time while upgrading sync. I may need to try this

from the way you guys are describing it, its sounding more and more like an oil/seal issue at the turbo.

I am thinking either this or could condensation build up in the resonator or muffler. Once off idle and driving the condensation turns to steam?

 

[AndysLog]

yea but there are key differences in steam and oil clouds.

oil wont go away like steam will and you shouldnt suddenly hit a steam pocket after you have been driving around.

exhausts are hot as balls and with all that airflow, maybe its possible idk.

It’s 100% smoke. Not stream.

It’s smike from burning oil from what I can tell based on the color and smell.

Must be turbo related. Aren't these turbo's water and oil cooled?
