New guy here. I have a 06 2500 just bought a month ago. 4" turbo back muffler delete, 2piece exhaust manifold, banks cold air, banks high ram and banks autotuner. Tuner is set to economy. I get lots of white smoke on start up and once grid heater shuts off, still get a little greyish blue smoke after warming to 180 degrees. Used an Infra red thermometer on each exhaust runner and got these #'s....cyl1-323 degrees...cyl2-337 degrees....3-335 degrees...4-344 degrees....5-314 degrees and 6-251 degrees. I can smell raw fuel from up front after truck is shut off. Is this an indication of faulty #6 injector? Should I continue driving it? No aftermarket fuel mods.
I do not off road or drive it hard. Don't know about previous owners tho. Just did an oil, filter and duel filter change. By suggestion of a friend, added hot shot secret to oil and their fuel additive to tank, 500 miles ago. Valvolive diesel extreme 15w-40 with wix filters. 214000 miles with a good service history according to carfax report.
