Help Question....

[HighRanger]

Ok so I installed a ATS manifold and a SPS 62 on my 04. 5 and now I am burining what i am assuming is oil. Running down the highway don't notice anything but when i pull off an exit ramp and stop the smoke starts rolling out the exhaust, and smokes at low speeds/idle. Didn't have this problem before this stuff went on. I run Amsoil 15w40 synthetic which was just changer about a 1500 miles ago. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Only other mods right now are Banks Techni cooler, Afe Stage 2 intake, and MBRP 4" exhaust. Truck has about 49k miles on the clock. No programmers or downloaders on the truck as it sits. Don't seem to be loosing any coolant, and don't have gauges since i took the Edge box off. Haven't had a chance to replace it yet. Edge has been off for over a month.

if the exhaust has a blueish hue then it is oil. . grey or black your just running rich.

It's def not running rich, it looks to be blue. I washed the truck last night and have driven it about 50 miles and my rear chrome bumper isn't chrome anymore.

Ok so after reading a few other posts, what are the symptoms of a cracked injector? Someone else said that fuel issues can cause a bluish smoke as well. Any thoughts... .

Check your oil level... asap

Check to make sure the oil return line that goes from the charger to the engine block does not have any restrictions in it. Could either be a seal in the charger or the return line is restricted and pushing oil past the seal and burning it.

Could also be a worn thrust bearing in the charger.

My moneys on bad turbo... .

Well it seems that the hose that was installed in the drain was kinked. The drain on this turbo has been a real issue since it was installed. I re worked the drain and after a few short miles the smoke is gone. Thanks for the input everyone.
