Just got an inframe done 5k miles ago. I'm noticing white smoke when I idle. Wasnt losing coolant as far as I could tell up until today I had to put a gallon in. Where could this be coming from? (New charge air cooler, borg Warner turbo,) running out of possibilities.
new inframe. white smoke from exhaust, ideas?

Fuel could be contaminated.
I had a motor overhauled. The shop to save me money, didn't change the fuel filter, because a week earlier I had a oil and filters changed in there shop.
When I left truck was smoking a little white. Mechanic explained it as usual and it will go away.
100 miles later truck shut down. Fuel filter was full of water. -
I havent changed the compressor at all. I did have a fault code for the engine speed / crank shaft sensor. Which I changed. Could the timing be off after changing it?Coffey Thanks this. -

Coolant could have just worked all the air pockets out, may not be losing any. Sure it’s not bluish smoke from oil? Time for an oil change anyways, have the coolant pressure tested. Make sure it will hold 10 or 15 lbs. Make sure it’s not building excess pressure while it’s running.
