Everytime I start the car even if its only been off a few minutes I get a good amount of white smoke. I assume this means I am burning oil? Which I am guessing again that Its time for a engine rebuild? or valve and ring job?

Any ideas?

Other then that the car runs fine

if its a 4.0 litre then try valve seals.... easy

Douglof25

Its the v-8 5.2

Still could be valve seals

yeah, probably valve seals. my 5.2 dakota did the same thing.

does it stink from the tail pipe?

if its white smoke your burnin water if its blue smoke then your burnin oil

You are probably seeing steam. The temps. have been low in GA. haven't they?

yeah white means coolant...

either u have a head leak
your have moisture in the exhaust burning off

OR

Do you have a check engine light on?

I get alot of white to in my 5.2L I have a SES light on and the code is a faulty EGR which makes me think that could be it and im running rich..

Its antifreeze/water not oil

Douglof25

No check engine light on and no antifreeze in the oil but it does seem to burn alot of oil

DCM

my friends does the same thing, i think his is from having a cold air intake and loving deep mud, but he hasnt takin it wheeling since it got cold and it still does it, so idk, i prolly didnt help at all...
