Could be the result of a poor fuel-to-air mixture. It may be something as simple as replacing the air filter, or it could be much more complicated.
It could also be from water getting into the system somehow.. might be in the fuel, or, much worse, might be a head gasket issue.
white smoke is water. head gasket or ?
White smoke is usually a sign of water in combustion chamber-check oil for any signs of water in oil
It can.
is this a diesel truck?does this engine have a turbo?if it is a diesel with a turbo,it will blow white smoke when cold till it warms upif it continues to blow smoke check your air filterother reason if it continues to blow smoke is the turbo is about to crater get it checkedalso check engine oil for coolant lossif coolant is leaking into cylanders,this will cause white smoke
usually a blown head gasket (most all the time white smoke on a a diesel engine means antifreeze in the combustion chamber)
you can use chips, power mods, and smoke switches.
Blown head gasket will do it check your coolant for oil in it and your engine oil for coolant it it...
Possibly a cracked head. The Ford 6.0L diesels are notorious for this. If the leak isn't bad it'll blow white smoke when cold but will be less noticeable when warmed up. You'll usually have a heck of a time starting the engine in the winter too.
Hi there,blue smoke on a diesel motor is normally fuel,and the smell will be unburn diesel,rough start and heavy smoke that will disapear as the engine getshot.
you need to check that coolant is not leaking into pistons. white smoke in a diesel is usually an indication of a blown head gasket allowing coolant to get into pistons and burn with fuel. also check that injectors are all good
blow by through the turbo ,my truck did the same thing had to get the turbo rebuilt
to make a diesel blow black smoke is usually done by turning up the fuel pump.all this accomplishes is to much fuel and the black smoke created is mostly un burnt fuel that is being wasted
