Need help?

On saturday morning I left camp to go to a fish derby and at first the truck was okay untill I stopped, then when I took off again the truck sounded like it didnt want to shift at first and just let out a big cloud of white smoke and I mean lots. So I kept driving and when I stopped again it did it again. After the fish derby on the way home she didnt do it at all and it drove normal? 2008 6.4 diesel.

No experience with the newer PSDs. Don't know much about them other than what I read, but that sounds like it could be it. Seems like I've read an article on the DPF in one of the diesel magazines that said something about that.

Dpf regen for sure. Read it many times. Some custom sct or h&s tunes are in your future. The edge is not helping the truck on the amount of regeneration as its introducing more soot.

Ya that kinda makes sence because the day before it was in its cleaning time and i stopped the truck before it had time to finish. would weather have a problem with that to it was fogy out?
The hole edge thing came from a friend, he said to try this out because his dad is using it on his ford 6L and that this is ford friendly something like that
