White smoke!!!

Go Ahead N Go
This sucks my reverse went out in my tranny fluid went black and now my truck smokes white after 10pounds of boost and letting off the gas smells like oil but my oil is still full to the exact mark after more than a month of this problem. Havent quite singled out burning coolant yet cause my fluid is still full and dont know what else it could be. I figured its a possible blown head gasget crack intake maniflod or cylinder head??

Re: White smoke!!!

check cooland for oil. Check oil for yellow foam stuff. Also the dip stick will start to rust if you have a small crack in head or blown gasket. I was told that our head gaskest are prety tough on stock to mild trucks. the smoke could be a leaking turbo. Could be a crack valve guide(s). Does not take a lot of oil to cause smoke. dont know about the trans. luckly mine still is good. After a 3k rebuild.

If you're checking the "header tank" without actually looking into the radiator you better do that ASAP. My

Re: White smoke!!!

use a HC cabon tester. basically take a sample of the coolant and tests it for HCs. if you have HCs present in coolant, suspect headgasket. basically you have to tear it down. sorry.

My friend has a Saab 900 Turbo. His car started blowing smoke, discovered it was a headgasket. Good luck.

Re: White smoke!!!

Could it be my stock intercooler leaking radiator fluid into my throttle body and burning it??

Re: White smoke!!!

My Sy pumps a grayish/white smoke when I first start it after sitting a few days. I have traced this to being caused by worn out rubber oil seals or valve stem seals. Time for a rebuild at least for the heads.
