? for kwik diesel rod and others of great knowledge
hey guys thanks to all who check this out and reply.
i did a search and couldnt find what i was looking for so i thought id ask.
i have a 2001 f 250 4x4 7.3 auto with a diablo chip, and straight pipe, this thing runs great no problems at all, starts good runs good. BUT im starting to notice here and there while driving it i see whiteish/blueish smoke come out from the tailpipe? it dosent do it all the time, but it does it enough for me to post here and ask. fuel filter was done recently im due in 700 miles for an oil change using delo chevron oil. ummm my diablo chip is on the mid setting. and about 3 weeks ago i thought i could smell raw diesel in the truck but i wasnt too sure, and have not smelled it since. any ideas fellas, any help is appreciated !!

How is the truck on oil usage??? I assume when kwik said turbo failing he ment the seals, so therefore it would use oil, thus causing blueish smoke. pull your intake piping off and check for any side to side play in the turbo, and look for any damage on the wheel or the housing, if it is goin bad.

it could be day or night when i see the smoke, now i catch myself looking for it.
also when im hard on the gas i dont see as much, but when i lightfoot it i get it a little more, and after it has been sitting for 20 min or so after prolonged running, it does it a little more.

thnx diesel im going to pull off the intake piping this weekend and check the shaft play, now that you said this i did notice the take off boost is kinda low, and it takes me to mash it to see any real psi coming from the turbo boost gauge.
