finished my pulley install yesterday and put on my new slp exhaust because the hanger broke off the other but it was warrantied so no prob there. drove it last night and smelled a light burning oil scent maybe once or twice but figured it was the wd40 that i used to free up the exhaust clamps and also to help remove the crank pulley. then this morning it was windy and i started my truck to leave and a small cloud of blue smoke went whizzing passed my window on the exhaust side. now i kno what this means and i know the things it could be. i smelled it maybe one more time while driving and parked the truck about 6 hours. when i restarted there was no smoke and no smell on the way home. id love to write it off as a flouke or something to do with the wd40 but its on my mind and any input would be great. truck has just under 89000 on the ticker

 

that is the mineral spirits burning off of the new exhaust you have


it's very common, and stinks like hell...most exhaust makers cover their pipes with a very light coating of mineral oil to prevent corrosion while the pipes sit on a shelf somewhere


give the exhaust about 1,000 miles and the smell/smoke should be completely gone.

 

There is also mandrel oil inside the exhausts, they always smoke on startup for about a week

 

My Maggie did the same thing for about a week. I think you are fine.

 

alright ya then its definately that because she has never done that before and doesnt use a drop between changes so it would be really weird. thanks alot for the info
