Default smoke
out of nowhere my truck started dumping grayish white smoke instead of thick black smoke like it usually does. what would cause this and what is the greyish white smoke from?

Couple of things. Could be oil or coolant going through the engine or turbo.
Dose it smoke at idle? Or only when your hard on the throttle?
