Puking white smoke... EGR COOLER?

[STORMTROOPIN]

yea, picked up a haynes manual at autozone last night while i was there, has all the tourqe specs for most of those parts, i think it was only like 8ft/lbs for the intake bolts.

[chuckles]

also when you have 8ft/lbs spec you probably want to use an inch /lb tq wrench and convert to get a more accurate spec. Most ft/lb tq wrenches don't go below 10-15 ft lbs.

yea, my snapon wrench goes down to 5ft/lb. I just did the conversion from inch lbs to ft lbs with a calc... Got it all finised up this afternoon and everything is gravy except for where the up pipes conect to the turbo, cant get it to seal corectly and it has a slight leak... sounds like a damn tea kettle wen under full throtle

could be your injector #8 my friend was pourin white smoke and it was the injector #8.

Loosen the up pipes where they meet the y-pipe, then tighten the y-pipe first, then the up-pipes.

good idea... ill try that next time im home. dont really have the tools down here in va to do it. For now i went and got some header wrap and wraped that whol joint where it conects and it helped tons...

new development though, i know my egr cooler had to have been bad because i seen moisture in the intake when i did the delete. But now that everything is said and done the truck is still smoking, mainly at idle and when i take off. i had possible thoughts of it maybe being an injector issue. The smoke is a mix between white/grey/blue. Ive also been feeling sort of a vibration through my floorboard for about a month now and the truck doesnt idol so great anymore.

[chuckles]

how long has it been since you replaced the egr?? how bad was it blown. It can take several hundred miles for them to clear up...

[STORMTROOPIN]

i did the delete thur/friday last week. I figured that it would take a while to burn it off but what i cant explain is the miss im feeling in the engine. The smoke has a bluish tinge to it.... if its ressidue i wouldnt think it would be smoking as bad as it is. im gona keep diggin.

checked your basics? Air, fuel filters? Oil change? Checked base fuel pressure?

[STORMTROOPIN]

air is good, filters are clean, put in a new oil filter when i did the egr delete, oil is clean... how do you check the fuel pressure?
