My buddys got a 05 6.0 and it blows white smoke at idle and even worse when you rev it up. What is the problem? I think it might be a blown head gasket leaking coolant into the cylinder? Its got 40k on it and its already blown one head gasket and it was replaced, so i thinking it might be the same problem.
thanks!

it had a chip in it (idk the brand) but it was taken out when the new head gasket was put in about 3k ago. Its got a 4" exhaust and 5" stacks and thats all the mods oo its got a 12" lift and 40" tires if that matters...that motors under a load rollin them around town! We live in Baton Rouge LA, so its hot and humid. I havent driven it since it started actin up, so idk how it drives. Im just trying to point the owner in the right direction.

With whats been done to it, I'd take it to a local independant diesel tech, and have ARP headstuds intalled along with new gaskets on both sides. Maybe look at firerings.
