Truck is broke......
Well i started my truck today and white smoke just bellowed out of the tail pipe. I called the ford dealer and they say it is a head gasket or the Egr cooler. I have an appointment on Monday. I guess we will see.

Bree said it is covered under the warranty so that is good.

That is a real good thing.... I would hate to think of what the repair bill would be if it is a head gasket.

That sucks Barry. But at least the warranty will cover it.

Ford diesel owners nightmare! The good thing is it is covered and you weren't three states away on a trip.

I remember you saying that the egr was getting clogged and if it does, it will cause that so if that is the case it will be an easy fix and you will have the truck back that day if in stock or can be picked up at an local dealer. Just make sure you remember to put the Stock Tune back in.
