blue smoke

[nascar_fan28]

well was sick of see all the smoke at start up... took it in... they say its normal its just unburn't fuel....? this was better reason, then last dealership, because they gave reason... sounds like it could be true.. lol

My 2005 doest it, but its always on street performance tune. Its a kinda white haze...not really a cloud. I dont remember is it does it at stock or not. My partner Larry's Excursion 7.3L 2000 has a slight haze to it as well. It really is a common diesel trait. I own a small trucking company and they all do the same thing. I wouldnt worry about it unless people passing by are dropping over dead lol.

my truck still is in the shop, but i have their answer to my blue smoke issue!
it is perfectly normal, just use some of the cetane booster we sell in our shop. their deduction is that it could be the oil, it could be the fuel or both...

yeah neighbor just showed me that stuff.. he said his turbo was stickin so they gave him that... i might try some of it... cant hurt i guess, i was thinking maybe its whatever fuel companies put in diesel to keep from jellin up in winter... because summer time... i dont think it does it.... its still doing it now.. and its in 80s.. so i know tempature isnt doing it.. but thanks for help

yup, mine has done it every morn. since 9/03- hot or cold days. i too will give it a shot along w/ the input of the new recall program and see what it does.

I have never noticed it out of mine. Kinda hard to see in a X though. I am going to make it a point to look in the mirror at the pipe when I crank 'er up from now on.

My 97 used to look like we were fogging for mosquitos when it was below about 50 degrees, but it lessened as the temps rose. It always would smoke upon start up, though.

My 05 F350 does that too , usually when the temp- changes to a little colder when you first started in the morning .But once it's warms up everything's fine .
