The smoke is Gray and smell like oil.
Dealer justed called. 15,000 for New Engine, something let go inside engine, it pushing out a lot of oil, presure in the crank case. I'll be finding some one else to do the repair.
Now that I have had time to think about this problem, this is what I hope and think has happen to my truck at this time, more trouble shooting will be done tommorow when it's warmer.
First I use a pre-luber on my truck and the weather has been cold here in CT
Last Saturday after out snow storm I started the truck and it did not like it, but it did warm up, I think that the oil was very cold and the pre-luber push up the oil pressurer and pop a seal in the turbo allowing oil to leak into the turbo and exhust gas to enter the block thur the turbo oil retune.
Here is a what the dealer Diagnosis report:
Verified smoking from tailpipe. Oil found seapage at turbo inducer indicating oil ingestion. Removed dipstick to find excessive blowby/crankcase pressure due to worn engine. Recommend engine and turbo replacement. Estimate to replace, $14580.70 plus tax with a warrenty 2 years unlimited miles on new engine.
This is my vending for the evening and I Will let you know what I find tomorrow when I look at the turbo. Any and all opinions will help too.

The service manager there is not required to be diesel qualifed right? Who backs up the tech on the analyisis?
There is a gauge that measures crankcase pressure. We also have specs for what is acceptable. Excessive crankcase pressure causes are limited no matter if you have a diesel or not. Worn/broken rings, worn/damaged piston(s), worn/damaged cylinder walls. It doesn't matter if its got 105k or 2 miles on it, damage can happen any time.I would love to know how they came to that conclusion. I would also wager a fair amount of money that there is another cause for the crankcase pressure.
Correct they usually have no diesel experence. What we say goes.

Nope, more pressure in the oil system than in the exhaust or intake. With a worn seal, you're more likely to get oil in the exhaust or intake.I know those are the usual suspects as far as gas engines go. There is so much I have to learn when it comes to this one. Someone suggested that a worn turbo seal might allow pressure back to the crankcase via the lube oil system. Not really knowing how the turbocharger is constructed with regard to the shaft seals (mechanical seals I would guess) or if the path would exist in the event of a worn seal to get pressure to the crankcase. $5 or 6 grand for a turbo vice $15 for an entire engine would be cool.
