    Bought a Mack Truck. When it decides to regen while going down the road it starts puffing out smoke when I’m accelerating (getting up to speed and keeping speed) it goes away when I let Off the throttle. Smoke comes from passenger side where the filter is. This seem like the doc is done for or an injector ?

    Sounds like a cracked or leaking exhaust or bellows pipe.

    Then wouldn’t it do it the whole time ? Not just while doing a regen ?

    Those '08-10 Macks smoke like crazy while doing a regen. No DEF so it just dumps fuel into the exhaust and burns everything out leaving white smoke behind

    DEF doesn't do anything for regen.

    During Regen you are adding fuel mist into exhaust, shouldn't during normal operation

    Is there a way to make it not smoke so bad ? Maybe exhaust does have a leak ? It’s look like a freight train when it’s doing it’s regen. Fellas on the cb tell me my trucks on fire LOL. Although it kinda looks like it!

    It doesn’t do it unless it’s in the process of the regen. Which seems to happen every couple days. But it just looks like a freight train when it starts

    Is it coming from under cab or out of exhaust outlet?
