I didn't lose any coolant either at first. After the cooler completely went is when I started to lose coolant.

When mine first started doing this Ford re-flashed my OBC and changed Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor. Problem went away for a few months
Still Haunting Me!!

so should I replace my EGR w/ a new one or ???
It did start after I cleaned it.
My CEL went out after I cleaned it but the smoke is getting worse.

If you haven't flashed your OBC with a tuner/ chip. Take it to Ford, it's under warranty!!
I've herd sometimes a re-flash fixes everything

When you cleaned EGR .......... was it submerged??????
Should only clean with small brush and brake cleaner. DO NOT get electrical cap saturated!!

I did not get the whole thing wet only the valve, Tooth brush and the carb cleaner
I have 42000 miles so I do not think I have any warranty left.?.

5 year/100,000 mile warranty on engine. You will have a $100 ded. but the rest should be taken care of.

It is at the shop now. I got 1 call back telling me they have never seen a truck with a smoke problem like this that is an intermittent problem. It does not do it all the time.
I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks for your help thus far....

NOW THE LATEST....
They (the dealership) want me to put my stock exaust back on as "they, can not test it with the aftermarket exaust on". They have not even done a compression test.
It is a goofy deal as the smoke is not all the time.
Any Ideas???
