how often does it smoke and at what outside temp.

[jwsailor]

The outside temperatures here have been ranging form about 50F(low in the mornings) when it started back in April. the temperatures vary from about 72f low to low 90's and it still does it. Now I stand outside on the passenger side when I start it in the mornings and watch the smoke and smell the diesel. For some reason I can not convince the dealership that it should not do that.

I even took the truck to a different dearlership where they have a good diesel mechanic. That dealership told me to take it back to the dealer I bought it from as they did not want to get involved!!!

When mine was doing the exact same thing it turned out to be a failing injector. But the dealer was giving me the same story as you are getting. After driving it that way for about 8,000 miles, they finally replaced the bad injector.

Unfortunately for them, they also ended up replacing all 4 valves on that cylinder due to carbon buildup from the leaky injector.

First took it to Crown Dodge in Pascagoula where I bought it. When they couldn't fix it I took it to Bayside in D'Iberville, MS they are supposed to have a good diesel mechanic, but the would not work on it, told me to take it back to the dealer where I bought it.

sounds like an injector although I think it would blow smoke wether it was cold or not. Not to sure if you engine is like the old 12 valve but when I thought an injector was going bad I crackd the injector lines to see if there was any change in how the engine was running. If there is no change you can tell which injector is going bad or dead already.

YOU KNOW IF YOU PUT ON A SMARTY IT'S UNDETECTIABLE TO THE DEALER SHIP AS LONG AS YOU TAKE IT OUT BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR TRUCK TO THE DEALER. THEY CAN'T TELL YOU HAVE DONE ANYTHING AND TO INSTALL ONE AND TO TAKE ONE OUT IS 1 MIN. THERE EASY
