those with white smoke

[KevinO]

My truck was sitting all weekend and the temps been in the mid teens and i started it up tonight and the smoke was so thick i couldn't see my neighbors house. it revved to about 1200 and stumbled pretty bad. I'm getting the 18-037-004 flash done this week is that gonna take care of it and is that about how much smoke others have seen? Also it has a sound like an exhaust leak but it comes and goes only when at idle and cold outside any ideas? Thanks

Ive had the flash done twice. Each time, the smoke seemed to get worse, though I doubt it really is. Im dead set certain that I must have a leaky injector. Dodge wants me to leave the truck at the next oil change and they said they will give it a cold start. Then thew will see it for them selves. The fact that I took 3 digital pictures of my son driving out my driveway and you could hardly see the truck through the smoke. After I drive about 1/8 to 1/4 mile, no smoke what so ever. After it sits for 2 hours, it all starts over again. That what leads me to the injector idea. If it was condensation, I wouldnt have it with a warm start. Also, it will do it if I start it up first time, but in the afternoon with temps of 65 to 70 degrees.

I guess it is the mystery of the new 325/600. My 305/555 never smoked a bit.

this is the first time it's been nearly this bad, by the time i got the camera it was done with the worst but still produced a haze. this is also the first time it's been out of the garage for such a period in cold weather.

My hopes is that it is the cold weather. If not, it seems that Dodge will drag their feet until we see 80 plus degrees and it goes away. Who knows. . I still love my new truck. This is the only problem Ive had with this truck. My 04 was a turd from the get go...
