I say bs to that cause I can be on the same tank and be fine tell it rains or wet snow comes and hello fog machine! The one thing that is really weird when at a light or at idle and smoking I open my door and it stops smoking as soon as i shut the door and take off it starts again. Now it's only when half throttle and changing gears and at idle. Any thoughts?
Is it warm or cold? More details about the truck please. Mileage? When was the oil last changed and was it done with the proper oil? Diesels don't use car oil
Re: 6.7 smoke on rainy days
It has 238k the oil was done at the dealer at 2k ago and the truck can be cold or warm it still smokes. For example it was smoking this morning temp outside was 40 the truck temp after warm up 117. Left work no smoke but yesterday it smoked all day. Oh and the coolant level is good, no leaks. I doesn't smoke till I pull away.

Does this blue smoke have a real oiley eye burning smell to it?
Lets try doing some cleaning first. But, if they are the original injectors, you're due. @Dude's Diesel Performance can help you out with the right quality injectors. We can help you with instructions on how to change them. But first, just in case, lets clean them. Don't know if we're wasting money or not. But it's not allot and you'll love the truck on the fuel additive. It will prevent this from happening in the furure, and the truck will run allot smoother.

I asked about the smell of the blue smoke. I've cured allot of similiar problems with this advice for others. If the smoke smells like I asked above, I want to store that info in my pea brain for future reference.
By the way, you can get the arch oil on Amazon too. Most of it is free shipping
Re: 6.7 smoke on rainy days
Thank you Mr. Steve. I will gladly help with injectors and most definitely help with the install.
Archoil is some good stuff. It is proven and has helped a lot of people. I have used it myself and am extremely happy with the product. They definitely know what they are doing.

That's unburned fuel. It's usually caused by low pressure or bad tip dispersal. Carbon in the cylinders can do it too. The system cleaner I showed you addresses carbon issues as well. It's the best stuff I ever used for that too. If I remember right, you do allot of short trips? Was that you? I amswer so many tech threads. I get into overload
Re: 6.7 smoke on rainy days
I do. I have order the archoil hopefully this works.
