I Have a 2006 F350 6.0 Diesel... I recently replaced Injector #3 because when I took it to Ford they said it was going bad, but that was the only one. I also did the EGR delete, Cleaned the Turbo, && Installed a new oil cooler ...When I first start my truck && when its sitting at idol I blow what seems to me white smoke out of the exhaust. It kinds of smells && burns my eyes but I cant really describe the smell, It doesnt smell like diesel or coolant.. I really have no idea and i really need help!!! What in the world could it be!!!

 

I just did #3 in my truck, it was the 2nd one that I have lost, the first that I changed. If it is coupled with a choppy/irregular idle, it's another injector. I recommend getting a scanner and see what comes up.

How many miles have you put on your truck since the change? Mine ran kind of choppy at first, I did a lap around the block, it sounded better, to I continued on my vaction trip. After ~125 miles into Vegas, it sounded/acted normal.

Oh yeah, welcome to the Bombers.

 

Its not running choppy at all, and i definitly havent put that many miles on it since we did all the work.. maybe 40 miles or so. I just cant figure out the smoke. Its extremly aggrivating. When we hooked up the computer it said that there was no other injector except 3. I have no idea! ughh.. Thank you by the way.

 

If it burns your eyes it's fuel not being burnt right.

You should also check your battery health first, and then test your FICM. After that, I'd look at the injectors again...

 

What about oil, do you think that it could have something to do with oil leaking or, i dunno this whole thing is so frustrating

 

Doubtful, but not impossible, it would depend where it's leaking from. Also using oil filters other than motorcraft/international/fram could cause this too, especially ones with their own caps...

 

Assuming the batteries/FICM are good, it could be pushing out the residual fuel, etc. Does it have a muffler/cat? Mine is 4 inches of straight piped love, so it didn't take long to clean out. However, all sorts of black sooty looking junk flew out on initial start up. Most folks recommend a spirited drive to clear it out post injector swap.

 

Checked my ficm all 3 ways and there all 48.2V ... I'm thinking that there might be a leak in my Turbo because its starting to smell like oil to me..

 

I'd plug in a scanner again and see what happens. If it's a post cleaning turbo leak, there may be evidence of soot coming from the leak spot. You could always feel around the turbo when it's first started, as in before it gets hot. I've done that several times to find header gasket leaks on my hot rod.

 

It doesn't sound like you're burning oil... it wouldn't smell so harsh and burn your eyes like fuel does.

I can't help but wonder if the wrong injector was replaced. Injector #3 is on the passenger side bank, if it was me, I'd pull the valve cover, put new o-rings and copper crush washers on ALL 4 injectors at that side, and I'd take the suspect injector and swap it to another hole, and try again.
