awesome!

 

Yes it was only at an idle and it was very little smoke

 

If you have no Cat on exhaust a little smoke at idle is common, sometimes the sun has to hit it just right to see it, there is always oil in the intake fromthe crankcase vent unless it has been modded, if it wee a turbo leak there would be sluggish spool up.

 

I have a 4inch straight pipe

 

Only thing I'll add is that factory Ford/Motorcraft or International filters are HIGHLY recommended for the 6.0, both oil and fuel. Most aftermarket fuel filters don't have the water membrane to separate the water from the fuel properly, and a lot of the aftermarket oil filters come with their own cap and some have a hard time pushing the release button (if that's what you want to call it) in the bottom of the oil filter housing to allow oil in properly, I've heard some horror stories about guys starving the motor for oil this way. Wipes out the cam and all the rockers etc...

 

I never have heard that that's good to know next time I change filters Ill be sure to get that

I'm about to put arp head studs, egr delete, and sinister black onyx head gaskets. I already have them i just have to find someone who wont rape me on the price.any other mods worth getting or need to be done I also just got my blue spring and banjo bolts in today

 

My truck did the same thing ! That's what started my mods and part replacements ,
I couldn't tell what mine was and no one could pin point the problem either. So I was thinking I had an injectors stuck as it didnt smell like coolant. I thought smelled like fuel or oil.
I ended up putting in (only because I bought before I torn in to it) 8 new injectors , sinister egr cooler, new ford oil cooler , (and I figured i might as well as i had 250 000 km on it)and all in the end all I had to do was look at the turbo ! My bearing seal on exhaust side was leaking I only noticed this as I was going to put the international vane rebuild kit in it. Mine at first only light white - grey smoke at idle when off idle would clear up and burn off oil leaking .

So if I were you and it comes back just pull the exhaust pipe off turbo and see if there is any oil build up - my two cents- and it's easy spot to start !

 

Don't use the BO gaskets, they're junk and you're going to be doing the job again, get Ford gaskets. Well worth it. The BO are the incorrect thickness (they're too thin!) They're actually too thin before they're even compressed. Do a quick google search and you'll see all the failures with them.

Sounds like you're on the right track. What do you have for gauges? Do you have a coolant filter yet? I would also buy an oil cooler rebuild if it's never been done. It's about $250.

Being your truck is an 06, you should do the updated STC fitting (snap to connect) it's on the high pressure oil pump and will crack over time and cause a hard hot start, this should be done on every 05+ truck. You should also do the upgraded stand pipes and dummy plugs, that kit runs about $105 if memory serves, and the STC fitting is like $40 or $50 I can't recall. You can check prices and order from http://www.tousleyfordparts.com/

The P/N's you need are:
STC fitting: 4C3Z-9B246-F $38.50
dummyplug/standpipe kit: 6E7Z-9A332-B $102

There are also upgraded turbo feed line and turbo drain line parts too. I would at least do the drain, it's not very expensive.

The drain is: 6C3Z-9T515-A $21.45
The feed is: 3C3Z-9T516-A (for your 06) $77.

I got the drain myself, but skipped out on the feed...

That's a good idea too, quick and easy to check.

 

Just regular ford gaskets that's on it

 

Yep, get new Ford gaskets. You'll need to figure out the build date of your truck to see if you need 18mm or 20mm though. Or did you already know from when you ordered the BO?
