[QUOTE="Joey DeLorenzo, post: 1554714, member: 42135"] Well...white smoke typically means coolant is being burned and consumed, which is never a good sign, probably a good idea to have it towed to be inspected. I'm not entirely sure who EDGE is or what they're all about, but aftermarket calibrations, especially from a company like that who seems to be primarily in the diesel business (based on a quick glance their media), doesn't seem to be the best. It's definitely a matter of you get what you pay for with these things. A company like Cobb, which has worked with smaller displacement, turbo charged, petrol engines, has millions of dollars of R&D to produce a steady and reliable tune. Yeah, their tuner is 1.5 times as much, or more if you get the TCM upgrade, but I personally believe it's worth it. This all being said, these trucks seem to throw a wrench if you go WOT in some gears...but it DEFINITELY shouldn't be for misfire. My guess is your tune/calibration isn't incorporating a "knock" sensing parameter and adapting, and because you were running an octane too low for the tune, the engine was detonating, burning unevenly and misfiring. This is a super car derivative engine with tight tolerance so detonation will never be a good thing. [/QUOTE]
