From Steve Baz's site...

White smoke:


Caused by unburned fuel passing through the engine. Some white smoke is normal on cold start-ups. Excessive white smoke could be an indication of inoperative glow plugs, loose injectors, low compression from worn rings or bent connecting rods, or coolant leak into the cylinders--head gasket or injector well sleeves.

Black smoke:


Caused by excessive fuel for the amount of air drawn into the cylinders. Some black smoke on hard accelerate or at higher altitudes is normal. Excessive black smoke could result from restricted intake or exhaust, inoperative leaking or weak turbo, intake hose(s) leaks, leaking or worn injectors, fuel return or supply restriction, stuck Exhaust Back Pressure Regulator valve or solenoid. Also PCM inputs such as BARO MAP ICP or EBP sensors.

Blue or blue/white smoke:


Caused by insufficient fuel or oil consumption. Normal when engine is cold or idling for extended periods. Excessive smoke could be caused by air in the fuel, contaminated fuel, loose or plugged injectors, worn or leaking injector o-rings, thermostat stuck open, oil consumption, or plugged crankcase depression regulator valve. Also PCM inputs such as MAP or ICP sensors.

Sounds like you could have some bad injector O rings. Most likely the copper sealing washer at the bottom and the lower O ring. It won't throw a code if that goes bad. The other more costly possibility would be a leaking head gasket. If you can when it is smokeing take a big wiff of the smoke. See if you can tell if it is excess fuel or coolant. That will give you a direction to go in.

now thats its warmer out it is not smokng as bad or running as rough but still not 100% it is definatly all diesel smoke maybe alittle oil

well alot of injector cleaner and fried nerves it is all better but i stll cant figure out why this happend in the first place. this did happen once before on a 500mile straight run without stopping i got back into town and it was running rough and smoking (not as bad as today) but i blamed that on running one of my tanks dry in mid trip and picking up the dirt from the bottom... o well at least its fixed for under 10 bucks and i hope thats all it needed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/phoney.gif

now that you got the problem fixed go to walmart and buy diesel supplement its in a white bottle you can get it in quarts or like me buy it by the gallon use a half quart every other tank and problem will stay gone. i found this little trick out myself after i got my truck a year ago and it did the same thing. i added a link for the manufactuer so you can see what it looks like. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
