WHITE/BLUE SMOKE?

[blksmoke01]

I HAVE A 01 250 IT PUFFS A BIT OF WHITE/BLUE SMOKE FROM A TAKE OFF AND WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS BUT DONT APPLY THE BRAKES RIGHT AWAY. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BE? I HEARD IT MIGHT BE A BAD PEDISTAL O RING?

I had a similar problem with my truck. My truck would blow white/blue smoke specially after driving for a while and coming to a stop. My problem was my turbo. The shaft inside the turbo messed up and started to pass oil into the the exhaust side of the turbo causing it to burn...hence white/blue smoke out the tail pipe. Check under your truck to see if you have any signs of oil draining into your exhaust pipe. Also check where your exhaust pipe connects to your turbo...if you see oil...then its your turbo. I got a whole new cartridge for about $600.00. Good Luck

i'd say its your turbo, just happened to me, now i just have to find a new one, this happened within a week of hooking up a diablo sport chip

thanks for the advice

[blksmoke01]

is it still ok to drive for a bit or should i shut er down and do work on it

I would pull the intake side off the turbo and check it out for shaft play. I think you may have a bad or going back injector

Would an injector cause blue smoke?

I have the same exact problem, any way to rule out injector or turbo. What needs to be replaced in the turbo? Or need a new one?

[Big_Stroker]

I dont think a turbo would cause this. An injector something else is worng
