Have a truck that will blow white smoke even though the dash says nothing about cleaning. Does it from 30 to 40 mph has been in the teens for a few days and thats when it does it. Any ideas?:dunno

Kinda confused here, your sig say's 6.0, they don't have DPF's, so what you running? If it's 6.4 go straight to the dealer, white smoke or any smoke, DPF delete not with standing, is not a good sign.

I used to get that on cold damp days (I say used to because I now head south for the winter). It was in regen mode but I never saw a message on the message center. I had a computer flash upgrade about a year ago and I now get the message saying it is cleaning the filter. I did see once, when it got cool down here, that it did produce the white smoke when re-gen'ing.

These are still diesel engines, they may have a lot of modern computers and gadgets, but when poor quality or low centain fuel gets into a a motor and does not ignite corectly, it blows white smoke.


Are you using a fuel booster?

Ever seen a large truck or tractor start up in cold weather?

Yep it's pretty bad now. 40 mph up a hill or after stopping at a light. I'll make an appointment. I don't think i've had a regen in about 2 months.
