A Little light white smoke...

Seems like My truck is always blowing a little bit of light, white smoke. I am getting about 13mpg (all city so far). The smoke will get real thick and black if I punch it. What's with the white(ish) smoke?

Seems like there's a little most of the time. I guess it gets a little better when warm.

There is a pretty strong diesel smell, but I don't see a leak. Injectors are new (17k mi) and just recently re-sealed.

are they just the stocker injectors (rebuilt)? Its sounds like how my truck is when I start it up and its cold it usually hazes white smoke but eventually clearsa up once its up to operation temps

Try bumping the timing up some. If that doesn't fix it you have a drippy injector.

I just bumped it a couple of days ago - seems a little better. How can I identify the make/model of my injectors? I think they are aftermarket, but not sure - I know they are somewhat new.
