Ok so I uninstalled the banks tuner I will be looking into sct shorty First a trip to the shop. Truck is starting to take a few cranks more to start and is just different from the normal. Idle is still smooth but still white smoke while at idle.

that and the international fuel bowl is diff its pretty identical to a 7.3 like the fuel pressure regulator kit for say a F650/750 with a 6.0 (yes they stuffed a 6.0 in a 650 and 750 along with 5.9 cummins and Cat C7 7.3 I6) the fuel bowl on them are really close to identical with the old 7.3s and those kits are completely different than fords 6.0 PSD kit

Who's doing the work? Those heads better get machined or it's a waste of time. Ask me how I know.

No, they specifically will NOT do them. Ford says the heads can't be machined. Which is obviously not true, since so many people do it. I've had my studs put in under warranty once, it was the shortest amount of time my headgaskets lasted.
