6.0 blue smoke
hey guys hope all is well with everyone. well my 04 6.0 is doing some weird s*** bout 23 32 degres out today and the past week and i noticed that at idle with part throttle i would get a light ble smoke blowing out the tail and also on launches like red lights and stop signs. i thought maybe it might be the egr valve as i have not done the delete yet so i took it out and cleaned it nice and good but noticed one of the o rings have a small tear in it and didnt get the new o rings yet for it cause idk wether im going to do a full delete or a dummy egr valve. but after cleaning it it seemed to get a little bit better. but my question is am i looking at the right place would a fault in the egr system create light blue smoke?

mine does this exact same thing. my problem is my turbo. There is oil leaking into the hot side (exhaust) of my turbo and causing it Smoke at stop signs and red lights just as you have described, but clears right after. I'm not saying that is what your problem is because I'm certainly not one of the techs on here, but it is something to look into. Mine is to the point that when I cut the truck off (after the required idle time to let the turbo spool down) you can hear my turbo making noised it shouldn't. My cold side of the turbo is nice and clean, and tight as well.

How soon after the rebuild did it start puffing smoke out?
|
Doesn't sounds like it's coolant related as that's tyoically whitish smoke. Blue/black smoke is oil/fuel related.
Mine used to blow bluish smoke leaving from stops and it didn't clear up until I swapped out the faulty injector. If you want to know if your turbo is puking oil, pull the downpipe and check for a swirl design down the pipe....that indicates oil getting past the seals. Example of the swirl in the downpipe: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c1...ps31b2c7f2.jpg |

Egr cooler??? Check egr valve for wetness
|
Egr cooler has blown I bet. Getting coolant in your intake mixing with carbon build up in the intake and burning it causing blueish white smoke. Smell the smoke, smell sweet??

I'm also getting oil outside of my down pipe where the pipe and turbo meet. Obviously the clamp is probably bad as well. I will be deleting my egr when I have the turbo off this weekend to replace it. There is a shop down the street from me that can clear the check engine light. Hope your troubles aren't too costly for ya.
