Welcome to DF

You could have a bad intake manifold, crack in in the block, The blue smoke maybe the piston rings. I will move your post to the 2nd Gen Ram section.

A couple of things.

1. A thread labeled "Help" is NOT likely to generate real help. Topic should realte to problems so members know wheterhe it is something thay can help with.

2. Not wise to start multiple threads about the same problem. Causes confusion, and tends to tick off some folks.

3. Go back to original thread and read the responses.....


And also, go to the FAQ/DIY section and download the free service manual found there. it will be very helpful to you for this and other problems as they arise.
