Whenever our truck is idling, the cab is overwhelmed with exhaust/diesel smell. Exhaust leak maybe?
Also, the smoking at speed, no load, warmed up is still minimal-to-none. But at cold off-idle in gear/driving it looks like a locomotive with like a blueish-whitish combination smoke just pouring out the tailpipe, and same under load going down the highway- we picked out our 32 x 7.5 x 8.5 ft cargomate today, and it smokes pretty good even with tow-haul on. And when you first get on it after more than a minute idling, it'll smoke pretty good again but clear out pretty quick.
It's like there is something pooling up at idle and under load. The fuel injectors have 40,000 on them we know they are due (a friend quoted $1,000 labor over 2 days plus parts), which i know makes white smoke, though i'm not really sure on why it's white? The blue smoke has to be oil, but where could it be coming in from? My only thought is maybe a degraded seal in the turbo, allowing oil to leak from the turbo oil supply?
Basically the only time it DOESNT smoke is while moving, no/minimal load (40-50 mph no trailer), warmed up. Which I have come to establish is about 3-5psi of boost. At idle the needle is stuck against the zero peg, telling me the manifold is under vacuum, and towing is around 15psi cruising and 22 at significant throttle.
We've checked the oil and it's just above the bottom of the head of the dip stick, the top of the last valley. We assume that to be the full position? There's nothing to explain otherwise.
