Before i start i want to say i searched this forum for a solution but came out:confused013:.
My buddy just bought a 05 dodge 3500 from a guy in nevada. It is all stock minus a 6"lift. It has 65k miles. Problem with it is it smokes heavy when you first start it and after it warms up the smoke goes away. Also out of the crankcase vent tube it smokes real heavy after it warms up and when you put your hand up to it after about 5 seconds your hand has oil on it. There is excessive oil ALL over the bottom of the truck. No noticable loss in power or performance.
I read on another thread the smoke could be from running the truck to hot too often. His turbo housing(where the intake mounts up to it) looks discolored, not gray but a reddish burn like its been overheated too many times and his exhaust manifold is the same way, whereas mine is just looks rusty.
What could it be?:confused013:
