Bad headgaskets? help
 
I picked up a 02 with 132 on it from my buddy he said he thinks the head gaskets went. The anti freeze isnt down but it is a little dirty it could be from factory still, but as soon as the motor gets warmed up you can start to notice white smoke comming out of exhaust but it doesnt smell to muich like antifreeze alsmot like a soot smell, so im gonna have someone test it for me to see what the problem coudl be but id like some input from here as well.

Unlikely that it is head gaskets... Have you checked the oil to make sure it isn't milky or discolored?

oil is fine and smells fine

Could be injector cups, could be injector O rings, could be turbo, could be many things.

Check for codes first off, then change all the fluids.

7.3's RARELY if EVER have head gasket issues.

took it down the road let it warm up and got it in the dirveway and it was blowing large amounts of white smoke, then i put on a test kit for chamber gases in anti freeze and it came up negative

As we both said... Its not a head gasket.

Could be a broken injector nozzle, cut O ring, blown turbo, broken or bend pushrod...
