Dude. You need to hurry up and find the answer. It seems that many of us have the "smoke" issue going on only mine is ONLY at take off, not while Im driving and it doesnt matter what the temp outside is. Truck runs fine, gas mileage is appropriate and Im not losing coolant. Keep us posted with the results and if you ended up using the Rev-X. Good luck.....
mine did same thing blue smoke at take off gas milage good no losing coolant did headgasket job and took bout 500 mies to clear up now only smokes in morning
Here's my two cents on the subject......
It's the valve guides and/or seals. Here's why.
My truck does it. 06 with just shy of 140K on it now (Sept 2013). Been smoking for the last year and a half or so. Mine started randomly and got worse. I was running a CCV mod at the time. I swapped turbos, changed tunes, changed brands of oil, nothing changed the smoke. At this point it smoked all the time at idle. Just for giggles I popped a CCV line off, letting it vent to atmosphere, and it instantly quit smoking. If I put my thumb over the vent line it would instantly shoot a 5 inch column of white smoke out of the tailpipe. What I determined, is that my guides and/or seals are worn to the point that it oil smokes because the CCV pressure takes the path of least resistance. I currently have mine plumbed back into the inlet hose and it smokes like a freight train until the oil temp gets above 150* and is gone completely above 180*. I'll do my heads one day and either prove or disprove my theory.
Of the guys that smoke, how many have deleted their cats? I suspect the additional heat in the converter is able to burn the oil at a high enough of a temp to render the smoke invisible.
Edit....
I never lose any coolant. My oil level never drops enough to have to add. I have zero performance issues, starts good cold, starts good hot, never skips or misses. My fuel mileage is very consistant.
