Pull an intake tube and see how much oil is in there. Next pull a part off the exaust, if it's a turbo problem Id bet you'll find an excessive amount of oil in one or the other. Does it smell like oil? And what are the chances of you "blowing a seal"? Not sure on the turbo rebuild. Last I heard you could send it off to be rebuilt but maybe just a seal replacement can be done on your own. Not sure though. It's a 38R?

yes smells like oil and it is a 38r.. I am tired so no more work today, we just got the head back on,surely there is no problem there..
as far as the smoke goes,it will even smoke after the truck is shut down for say 10-15 seconds

Joey does it smoke immediately after start up it does it have to run for a while? If it's a turbo seal the oil will take a little while to heat up and start to smoke.

I confirmed a bad turbo seal today,I found lots of oil in the exhaust,it started smoking on a towing trip to Gatlinburg it seemed the longer I drove it the more it would smoke. It didn't smoke immediately but didn't take too long...

found the problem ( believe),the HPOP blew the fitting to the driver side head..It appears that it blew the threads out of the pump...So,I am thinking not enough oil to the injectors and they were pump raw fuel and not burning..The thing is, when i got to the house it was smoking like crazy but no oil under the truck,when i got to the shop this am and parked it,it was running like sh** and had a puddle under it

Wow, I've never heard of
A truck running more than a couple of seconds after blowing a line or fitting. At specially on the ds, as soon as the icp would lose pressure it would die. Keep us posted. Something isn't adding up!

David,
It didnt blow all the way off, it was spraying oil like a pressure washer..It pulled the threads out of the pump

Ok now I see why it didn't die. Still don't understand why it would smoke at idle. Not saying it couldn't, hopefully someone can back up your theory!
