    smoke from exhaust

    I have been noticing smoke coming from my exhaust when I run at high speeds. It is white and very light. It kind of looks like exhaust you would see out of tale pipe on a cold morning. My temp is 150. Is the smoke normal? This is the first season I've noticed but that doesn't mean it hasn't been there forever.

    I have to believe it is just steam.

      yes, it is normal, just steam. If it was a littel blue (ish), it could be burned oil, if it was black, it would be too much gas. If the temperature stays normal, and the oil level stays the same, don't worry about it!

        Because it is. hehe.
        Unless it's a blown head gasket. And if you have a blown head gasket, you wouldn't be asking about the steam. Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

          If you have some extra time pull the T-stat cover and see if you have any impeller blades lodged into the exhaust passages, these can cause excess steam too.

            some times if your impeller isnt pumping enough water it could stem white looking smoke seen that a few times..
