Does anyone else have a lot more smoke from the tail pipe when they are running their tow tune vs their street tune? For me it seems like a lot especially right now being cold out but I still notice a haze at idle when the engine is warm. Also can smell a difference.
Getting a ficm tuner from php tomorrow so interested to see what that does for things.

Was in the 30s last week, maybe low 40s today. Last week it was worse from changing over the tune right before. I always get a little smoke when changing tunes regardless of which one I go to.

First off, return it to stock. Once in those temps. again, see how the smoke is. I haven't payed attention recently around 0c (32f) but i don't believe there should be much smoke if anything. The further below freezing the more smoke you will see, all it will be is condensation or fuel because the truck is severely over fueling to run

Don't let the white smoke scare you when it gets really cold. Being 6.0 owners some might tend to think "crap, now what" but it's just condensate as Jmoen said, not any different than a gasser just takes colder temps to see it.

I am used to the smoke, part of the reason I make sure it gets plugged in when cold, but not always close enough to power where I park at home. It doesn't necessarily concern me except this time it was like wholely smoke cloud. Wish I would have thought to take a picture or video. There was even smoke coming from around the engine. Couldn't really pinpoint a location. Best guess was it was seeping out from my flex joints in the y pipe, it was rebuilt by Josh on here, or I STILL don't have the exhaust inlet of the turbo lined up perfect.
