All of the sudden this Peterbilt just started pouring massive amounts of smoke through its exhaust. The driver just put his hazards on and kept going. He didn’t appear to be in any rush to stop the truck, so I’m curious, is this a devastating sight to have in your own truck? It reminds me of when a car finally blows a head gasket, and white smoke comes from the exhaust, but not nearly as much

What would cause so much smoke to coke from the exhaust like this?

Hes a livestock hauler, he ain't going to just hit the shoulder and call roadside assistance... He probably knows of a place to get safely off the road a short ways up the road where he can fix the problem, which is probably a blown turbo.

Believe it or not it actually idled pretty good for having a turbo with a detached turbine wheel. It had the twins on it so the larger one was probably still doing its whistle stuff lol.The Railsplitter, Cattleman84, D.Tibbitt and 1 other person Thank this. -
My truck (peterbilt 389) does that once in a while after running thru stop and go traffic. Soot accumulates then it's burned off once you are at highway speed hence the white smoke. A warning that shows high exhaust temperature will appear on the dash. Peterbilt recommended we drive under a heavy load to burn off all the soot. That's the price we pay for having the new Def equipped engines.
The Railsplitter Thanks this.
