Okay so my truck only smokes a blueish haze on load. It rolls coal nice and black. Doesn't smoke blue on idle or when cold or anything only does IT on light load. Is this something to worry about? I don't have blow by or excessive oil consumption. Is this normal at all? It's kinda a blueish then goes instantly black. Is this something to worry about or am I a sketch

Only mods are. Edge juice with attitude. No fuel mods cold air intake and that's about it.

Well pulling the injectors and having them pop tested is typically a free thing to do. It might be a injector getting a bit pissy and not burning good.

If you had bad rind typically the blow by gets so bad that it starts pushing oil out of the vent tube.

Are you using 2 cycle oil and if so how much?

I use canola oil in my fuel I use about a litre every fill. And yeah I check blow by when cold by spinning the oil cap off and letting it sit there and it doesn't even bounce I can barely feel a bit a air coming out of the oil fill when cold and when warm. Only time I notice oil comigg out of the crank case tube is after a long road trip but that should be normal as the truck is constantly boosting. But yea I can barely feel air coming from the crank case vent. I was thinking it was a injector starting to spray bad but like I said it only happens when I have load and it's only for a split second

I'm going to have to reach out on a limb. I think the canola oil is coking in the nozzles a bit. (Can't say for sure) But veggie oil typically should be heated before use. You might try pulling them out and having them pop test and hand clean them. Take a peek at the internal parts closely.

i have a slight haze all the time.. never really worried when the truck runs great.. granted i do have a haze out the blow by also.. no oil really just some smoke.. more after running it hard.. but when the truck still runs as good as it does and gets about 21mpg on long trims i cant complain.
