Archived Blue Smoke

[SteveFarley]

OK well I have thought about this and asked a few good sources. So heres the story. I pulled out in kind of a hurry today maybe 35 pounds boost max. NO 2 on the box. Got to the stop light looked in my mirror and say blue smoke and smelled oil burning ( like what a gas motor with bad valve guides smells like) I look around think hows piece of S**T is smoking so bad I look in the mirror and its my piece. I limp home about 1 mile away and watching the gauges the whole way everything looks great and seems fine I turn of the comp box to maybe save some boost. well it clears up. I get home pull the boots apart and nothing no oil so it does not seem like a turbo oil is clean water is also. I am at a loss drove it another 59 miles after checking and nothing not a bit of blue even when 5X5 hard to 50 pounds figuring let it break Ill buy a new one. Nothing???????????

any ideas would be great because now I am nervous

cold truck?

was your truck cold? i know when mine and quite a few other truck i've seen when cold and driven even gently smoke blue but it clears up when the cylinders get some heat. i imagine its not a complete burn of the diesel fuel because of the cold air. just my thoughts.

It had been runnning for about 20 minutes but did idle for about 5 before I took off and got the smoke. and it selled like enigine oil not diesel. BUt may have been
