A friend of mine has an 06 stroker, and he had it turned up for a while, then he turned it down a little, and now he has it off. It wass blowing white smoke when he had it on, and now that he has it off it only blows white smoke when he's pulling somthing. I'm thinking EGR or ICP, but i'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas?

i mean his tuner of coarse. i forgot to put that in there. ha.
Well white smoke if I remember correctly is completely unburnt fuel. Or it could be coolant. If you can, smell the smoke and see if it smells like burnt coolant or diesel, you will be able to notice right away.
If it is coolant, there are a number of issues that it could be.

thanks, i'll tell him to smell it if he can. i'll get back to you on it.
dont sit there and sniff for to long tho lol
haha, yea I should have mentioned that. But am I correct on what I told him? That is what I was told to do by the guys over at PSN.
i thought black smoke was unburnt diesel...i could be wrong..
hahaha.
he hasn't got back to me on if it smells like coolant or not yet. it might be a while.
not gonna make it to the party:burn:
black smoke is burnt fuel, white smoke is unburnt with no heat.
Yea black smoke partially burnt fuel. Where as white smoke is completely unburnt fuel.
ah i c...i was going off of the "all the black smoke is wasted fuel but it looks effin cool" saying
thank you for answering me question, now, what could be causing it?
u need to use synthetic tail light fluid haha...i really dont kno
It could be a bunch of things causing white smoke. It could be an outdated pcm flash from Ford. But on the other hand it could be a blown EGR Cooler, clogged EGR pipe/valve, oil or coolant in the combustion chambers, blown gaskets, strechted studs, weak heads. It could be a whole number of things.
check and see if your loosing coolant, if its low and hasn't been blowing out the cap its probably the egr cooler, if its blowing out the cap its probably head gaskets, good luck
