white smoke and running rough
I took a little hour trip from my house last night, and when i got where i was going i noticed my truck sounded different, it was a lot louder and the idle was lower, i got out and was standing behind the truck while it was running and noticed that the exhaust had a very strong smell, so i got in the truck and revved it up and it sputtered and blew white smoke... I started it up this morning and it was still doing the same thing, but i managed to get it home... does this sound like injectors or what could it be? the oil in it is good, im running a dp tuner with 5in exhaust, cold air intake, if i put the truck in stock mode it really has a hard time running and will some times even die, but when its in a tune it wont die just runs rough.
Thanks
Thanks

Is the smell you are identifying a raw fuel smell along with the white smoke? White smoke is from fuel collecting in the cylinder after shut down. Might want to give the injector O-rings a gook looking at or check the harness under the valve covers to see if it has come unplugged.

im positive there's no coolant in the oil. there is no white smoke now, i changed my fuel filter and the truck seems to be doing a little better. i dont know how to describe the smell i guess it was raw fuel but it was strong enough to start burning my eyes while i was standing there.

Either you have a stuck open injector or the under cover valve harness(UVCH) has come unplugged.
