White Smoke

I am getting a lot of White Smoke at start up, and truck does not seem to have the power it should. 96 F350 185000 miles. Any ideas.

Thanks

Jim

how cold is it? colder it gets more white smoke and longer it takes to warm up and i know with mine if its cold it feels powerless. could be glow plugs try cycling wait to start light a few times before u start or plug'er in and see if that helps.

X2! if I dont let mine cycle (usually 2mins) before starting after a cold night I have some white smoke and it feels sluggish until the engine gets at least a little warm

Just turn the key on and let them sit a while. they cycle for i thin 100 and some secs. If that doesnt help then most likely injector orings. I know my truck needs them bad. 188000 and never touched them. each year the smoke gets worse. Just my 2 cents. But if cycling gps dont work then my money is on orings

max gp on-time is 120 seconds. you dont have to cycle the key just because the wait lamp goes out.... watch the volt gauge. and white smoke on a cold diesel is normal as is sluggish throttle on any heui injector system when the oil is cold and thick.
