'04 Freightliner, Detroit Diesel problem blowing white smoke

?

Thinks carefully... bubbling heater core? You usually have a heater on and it will take fluid from your engine. After a period of time it settles down.

The other thing about white smoke is it's 10 degrees somewhere. It's not winter yet is it?

 

i have disconnected the coolent sensor so the truck wont shut down when driving.
I get just enough coolent on the right side of the tank (little over the min line). Left side of exprension tank will get full when engine has been running. No white smoke
and where i live i turn my heater in the morning cuz its in the mid 30s lol

 

I'm having that same issue did you find the problem ?

I’ve got a 05 WS took it to the Detroit shop but they can’t work on it it’s been deleted which I didn’t know I just got the truck 8 months ago. It blows white smoke when I first take off from a stop light and it stumbles first gear or two then runs fine. They did a crank case pressure test it’s at 2” so that’s good they found 2 hose clamps that were just gone on the egr system they fixed that but now I have bubbles in my antifreeze and pushing coolant past the overflow tube and radiator cap.

My question is I’m thinking I have a bad egr cooler could that cause the motor to stumble and pressurize the coolant system?

 

If it is indeed deleted then you probably don't have an EGR cooler.

Air compressor or head/head gasket are the first things that come to my mind. Combustion gas tester will tell you if your head gasket is pushing combustion pressure into the cooling system.

 

No no no and no. Dont put any stop leaker #### in the truck!!! It will clog up everything. Had a friend do that and he ended up with another engine. That stuff is to get you safe to a shop
