When does it smoke? Startup? When you give it throttle? On deaccel? These can tell you whats wrong. startup is valve stem and also deaccel if its on accel its rings thats IF its blue smoke white smoke is water or coolant and that can tell me different things

Thanks, RNMM. Right now, in this extreme cold weather, it looks a lot worse than it is. But there's no question it's oil, not coolant, and it is at start-up (most) and accelleration (some). I'm resolved to inspect the valve seals, but I have to wait until warmer weather. This causes ache, because the truck runs SO GOOD I can't feel it running and I want to drive it! Not that I can on these icy roads, so patience it is.

I checked the PCV line for excessive oil, not sure what I was seeing, but this just makes me determined to create a catch-can.

Also will drain some oil to get the level down to "max".

When does it smoke?

Sometimes after sex, and always after a meal. Sometimes during sex, if we're both bored (but only .0010th over).


eh, lucky YOU!
