Blue Smoke

I think my olde girl is trying to tell me something...I have started noticing over the past few weeks blue smoke coming out of my stacks. The smoke seems to be at it's worst once the truck is warmed up and if I am cruising at a speed of around 30 mpm around town. I do notice that smoke seems to be heavier when my DP is tuned to anything other than stock, which could be irrelevant. Other than rings leaking...would oil leak into the combustion chambers any other way? possible injector cups via the heads? The truck has 212K on it...Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Andy

I would check the muffler bearings first. It could be operator error. If you blow the motor I would more then happy to take your stacks. Did your neighbor get a price for new equipment. Yet. I have been so busy at work after the strike to get over there.
