Pollutes the whole road until reaches operating temp

I doubt it,, After seeing how OUT of balance these engines come from GM, I would be very surprised if my balanced motor with melted pistons, was more out of balance....JMHO...
Mine hazes some on first start up but I don't have the fuel heater or IAH hooked up. I hope its not rods....
i dont have a IAH and mine doesnt smoke at start up at all. but then again i live in texas and the coldest its gotten yet is only like 25 degrees
Have you checked to see if all the glow plugs are working? If you don't have a CA emissions truck, burned out glow plugs won't set a CEL. If more than a couple are burned out, I would say that is your problem.
was my thinking....if the glow plugs arent heating the cylinder enough, proper combustion will not happen until the clinder temps raise and i think that woud cause the white unburnt diesel smoke
I was hoping for burnt out glow plugs. That's why I changed them. I also put new rails on with them. With no improvement.
My truck was doing this exact same thing before i put it up for the winter. I had the race tune loaded and was white smoking pretty bad till it warmed up. So i was worried and loaded my towtune and that fixed it no white smoke at all. So i come to the conclusion that it is caused by maybe to much fuel and or timing maybe on the race tune. Load a stock tune or lower hp tune and see if it stops smoking:thumb:
running any additive? maybe it needs a little 2 stroke or something. my personal preference is stanadyne
If you need a compression tester I have a brand new one sitting in the garage I could loan you. Or you can get yourself a cheap one from Harbor Freight for around 30 bucks IIRC.. I would start there.....
