White smoke in the morning but.....

[jharvey]

it's not that good thick white cloud of unburnt fuel, more like a gasser when it's cold, that vaprory (new word) stuff, goes away after a couple of minutes of driving.

I think it's normal just want to make sure.

Thanks

Mine does that some days. Can't say when it does it - i.e. cold, etc - but I don't notice it whenever I use the block heater.

Mine does it to, If im just going around town and go back on the hiway it comes back, dealer says it water vapor?

 

[jharvey]

thanks gang, I thought it was just water vapor but wanted to make sure.

 

[ranger boy]

mine does it too

it also does it in the 7.3

so i guess it just does it in every diesel?

Yep... steam... until the exhaust gets hot enough all the way back, you're going to see it back there. Now if you drive a mile down the road and you can still see a cloud as if you did a burn out, then I'd say you have a problem.

All combustion processes make water. It's just a function of if we can see it or not.

Yup, Mine does the same on COLD mornings, Which in Phoenix, AZ we don't have many................

Mine does this also, along with the bluish smoke on first starts. Did it since first oil change. Of course we won't know what warm is until April!
