Eng Light On

Hey Guys,

Truck has been pumping out blue smoke last little while. Only while in Tow/Haul mode and low speed. Mostly stop sign to stop sign in town.
This past wknd however while towing my 28'TT I went to pull out onto the main hwy, truck felt flat/ lack of power, and I looked down at dash and ENG Light was on.
Pulled codes with a friends OBD2 code reader and I got...
P0261, 264, 267, 270, 273, 276, 279, 282.
Before I take it into the dealer can anyone tell me what these codes are and what I can check on the truck.

Cause of BLUE smoke and now the codes?

Thanks.

what did you run through your truck!?!?! A racoon!?! lol I'm no tech in any way shape or form but if my truck pulled those I would think I needed all new injectors. Get that thing somewhere quick man, good luck.

Ok, never made it to dealer. Was using the truck this wknd and now the eng light no longer comes on.
Is there any reason why I would have gotten all those codes at once? Bad fuel filter? Bad oil?
Some things I can check rather than take to dealer and have him tell me the codes arent there and need to wait untill it happens again.

Thanks guys.

About 2 weeks ago, I got the exact same set of codes on my 05. I was pulling the 5th, at the time. I felt no drivability problems with mine. My CEL also went out the next day, and hasn't returned.

Mine happened as I was starting at night. The 5th was lit up with over a dozen bulbs. I was wondering if this was caused by the batteries getting weaker, and with all the extra load, dropping the voltages below a threshold.

Any thoughts?

I had the same problem with my 06...The dealer un hooked the Banks system, ran it and still had the problem. Turns out that the crossover pipe was leaking/plugged at the rear of the engine. They replaced the crossover pipe, reflashed it, and all has been ok since. Mine was not smoking though.
