Year, Model, Miles on it?

My 07 LBZ with 1500 miles on it also produces alittle "blue tinted" smoke at idle.
Not a DMAX diesel expert, but most all diesels with smoke alittle at idle.
Im guessin on mine that rings are still green. I,ll cure that with a good load this weekend.

Just remember this:

Blue smoke = oil (before ya start, diesel fuel is oil based, I meant crankcase)

Black smoke = unburnt fuel

White smoke = Air leak

All three = In Frame Time LOL
