also check where the pipe comes off the EGR valve its held on by 2 bolts thjis can rust out and the pipe seperates from the flange.

the white smoke is because of exhaust leaks and the truck is trying to regen or raw fuel is being spit out of the cylinders while idling and burns off when under load. or 3rd its throwing oil out of the cylinders or turbo and that is burning off after idling and under load.


Emissions trucks are not built to idle period idling will cause an emission motor to have many issues and most of them being a complete royal PIA to diagnose.

I've watched videos about that pipe. 2 bolts there at the back of the EGR cooler. One guy took it off to check if it had coolant in it on a video i watched. So, that pipe can get clogged up with soot and cause trouble?
