[QUOTE=HeyYou;2641974]Yep, your mechanic is correct, the would not account for the white smoke out the exhaust though. Since you need to reseal the timing cover, replace the water pump (it has to come off anyway.) and the timing chain and gears. Get a good double roller set. The old morse style guys like to stretch.


Ya I want the double roller. Does the pump have to b done I got papers stating the other guy had it done like a year ago lol

 

It doesn't have to be done but it has to be removed to pull the timing chain cover. Since it has to be removed anyway it is a good idea to go ahead and replace it. Maybe keep it as a spare

 

That's what I did. Mine looked pretty recent..... but, given how the rest of the truck was badly neglected, I changed it anyway.

 

Hey guys sorry I haven't been on lately but it only smokes when its super cold out at like 5am when I go to work. Like id say 30 degrees.. Anyways, I don't think its my head gasket my oil is fine my coolant level is fine, I think it my be that I hollowed out my CAT, plus I have a older Flow Master exhaust on it and it is thick metal so maybe that makes it smoke I have no idea, but I don't think it's a head gasket.
