White Smoke

Is it smoke or steam?

I will try to replicate today and see what it smells like. The two times I've noticed it was on a busy road. So far I haven't noticed any coolant loss or oil loss but this has just started for me. It is smoke for sure and is excessive. I will update with my findings and try to get a pic.

My truck has done this a few times. It looks like I’m driving a jalopy.

I thought it was from idling at a slight decline the first time. Nope, anytime I let it idle for longer than 10min it will pour smoke out of both tail pipes for about half a mile or so. Dealership literally said not to worry about it....

Maybe this is why no ones tailgating me...

I haven't seen anything but barely over 200 miles now

I was going to quip that if you can make your truck dispense smoke, or steam, this would be a feature, not a bug.

However, this could cause you to fail inspection in the more tyrannical states.
I don’t think I’ve had the truck idling for more than 10 minutes except for one time while upgrading sync. I may need to try this

from the way you guys are describing it, its sounding more and more like an oil/seal issue at the turbo.

I am thinking either this or could condensation build up in the resonator or muffler. Once off idle and driving the condensation turns to steam?

yea but there are key differences in steam and oil clouds.

oil wont go away like steam will and you shouldnt suddenly hit a steam pocket after you have been driving around.

exhausts are hot as balls and with all that airflow, maybe its possible idk.

It’s 100% smoke. Not stream.

It’s smike from burning oil from what I can tell based on the color and smell.

Must be turbo related. Aren't these turbo's water and oil cooled?
