k well my rig is smoking out of the tail pipe. at first i thought maybe it was just cause i noticed it after a cold start. but im still noticing it on and off...why am i burning oil? I know it could be piston rings.. which im really hoping its not.. but are there any other potetially cheaper explinations?

 

First start off with what type of smoke? Blue is usually oil, white is typically coolant. Next, how is the motor running? I'd say once you decipher those, your next best bet is going to be doing a compression test. See if you have level compression across all 6 cylinders.

 

dammit its white... i thought white was oil. crap. i just bought this cause my last truck blew both head gaskets. i swear if that happens again im gonna go postal

 

Don't forget one more.. Black is too much fuel.

 

well i know when it comes to diesels black means rich and white means lean...i didnt know that applied to gas engines tho. so...is it possilbe i just need to find a way to adjust my fai?
