OK, i think i'm having a problem with my 60,000 mile 01 LB7 and i need advice. Rewind 3 1/2 months, i had injectors going out. I take the truck in for a set of new Exergy 30 overs. When doing the injectors the shop finds that 4 of my valves are cracked where they meet the bridge. The heads come off for the valve job and go back on with Grade C Gaskets and ARP studs. The truck has been running really good ever since. About 2 weeks ago i rolled into it from a roll and the truck hesitated and made a funny noise almost like a miss for just a brief second and then takes off. I didn't think anything else of it at the time because all seemed fine after. However in the last few weeks i have been noticing more black smoke under light throttle but not enough to worry about. Yesterday I had my truck backed up to my garage to load the bed and i noticed my garage filling with white haze. It was light enough that you couldn't see it in the sunlight but could in the garage. When i pulled out you could see a light cloud of white smoke come off. When i get back home i check my balance rates and #7 was checking 4.7. I changed my fuel filter even though my old one only had 3,000 miles on it. When i dumped the fuel out of my old filter it looked like a considerable amount of particulate came out of the filter. I checked the balance rate again and it was 3.7 and the smoke was gone. This morning the smoke is still gone but i checked the balance rate when i got to work and it was 5.4. I added some injector cleaner to my tank, hoping it is just contaminated fuel. My air filter is clean (not oiled), I cleaned my MAF with MAF cleaner on Sunday, I am making enough boost to max out my factory sensor and the truck runs good, I have no codes, New Fuel Filter, and i am holding 22.8K on my big tune. What are everybody's thoughts?

I forgot to mention that I changed my oil Friday and saw no signs of fuel in the oil. Also when the light white haze was coming out it smelled like normal exhaust no strong fuel odor

Not sure on the warranty. I'm kind of worried it's something besides the injector causing the issue.

If it's just one then I would have to guess it's an injector. Test return rates?
