Unhappy My turn for problem

This morning I started the truck to come home and after it warmed up it started smoking and I have a little oil comming out the tail pipe.
Got 105k on it, No codes had the EGR replaced back in Aug at 98K
No other problem. Truck is at dealer ATT. Any idea's.

Amazing how it goes from a $15,000 to a $500 turbo. Good thing you got a second opinion.

That is the exact reason why the 6.0 got its bad rapp. I am glad you got a second opinion and found an honest dealer with a good tech. Whch saved you a ton of scratch.

It is amazing how much some dealers end up costing us. Other dealers know what they are doing and are reputable. I can't imagine getting a call that I needed to spend $15K on an engine that is still running. Definitely worth that second opinion!
