Whitish blue smoke.

[Duramax_JP]

I was sitting idleing at a stoplight today and noticed a whitish blue colored haze coming out of my exhaust. Is somethin wrong with my truck? I have heard of this happened before but im still not sure what it means. Any ideas on whats goin on? Also i may have out this in the wrong place. If i did mods please move it to the correct spot. Thanks

how cold out side was it when its starts getting in the low 30s and below they will smoke white simular to a gasser. thtats normal if it wasent cold out or aboove tht white is usally water from a head gasket or something.

any smoke or haze is usualy not a good thing unless it was burning water in the exhaust or something like that but if it did it after you had been driving it then it prolly isnt good

mine looked and sounded normal to me today, just a little puff and cleared right up!!!

we might be doing a compression test on mine in the next few weeks, might as well do yours too if your worried. Are you anywhere near Florida:joker:

I hope not. What things could it be? It only started today, if i dont see it again do you think it was just a temporary thing?

mine does this along with a slightly ruff idle when its below thirty degree's and i havnt plugged it in but i have a injector sticking i think . dont know on your lbz if its running smoothly just smoking , maybe post a video or picture of the smoke color .

Now that you mention it its been kinda shakin the truck at idle and is alot more rumbly rather than smooth at idle. I guess i can make a video of it tomorow. Its not very noticeable but its enough to make me worried.

Mine has done this before when it is cold out. After truck warms up it goes away for the most part. It did it when it was stock after I put the exhaust on it atleast that's when I noticed it. Check your balancing rates. Maybe it's just the fuel if it's winter fuel. Smell it.

Mine started going blue before 3 injectors were bad. I thought blue normally meant fuel in oil? It was in my case.
