I did pull my EGR valve twice now, both times has been dry and crusty inside.

Only good thing i can say so far is it started in -41C without being plugged in yesterday

Mine does the same thing when its that cold, I'm telling you.

mine smokes like crazy when it's cold out, so is every other diesel I see. Condensation. Jets leave a similar trail in the sky.

Cold would be fine to me, but when it's fully warmed up it still does this

Mine steams at fully warm too. Im telling you your tripping on nothing. You probably could just tap the cat with a hammer and see if it sounds hollow. Screw taking it off in -40

So Injector OR Boost issue

Low Boost will cause over fuel symtoms

May just have leaky inject pintail


If it starts to pour white smoke tow it

Good call, hadn't thought of the turbo seal, though that's usually a pretty distinct blue.

Tripping out over nothing is much better than having to do a delete in the cold :P
Just getting answers from you knowledgeable people!

There's diesels all over the place here that i refer my own exhaust too and nothing is as much as what mines pouring out. If i could put a video to show i would, it just doesn't make sense to me that's all

Boost pushes to 23, smoke is not a noticeable blue, definitely white but not totally embarassing amounts of it or anything.

Is 23 normal boost?

My injector plugs are under the covers correct?
