alright bd that sucks but between me and some of the tech here at the dealership think you blew the enigne! overheated one to many times and blew stuff. what color is the smoke if its white your burning coolant blue its oil. and the fact that when you pull the cap off and smoke comes out shows that you are burning oil.
Wouldnt surprise me
I hate this engine! These 3.0s suck! Also, just found out the guy I bought it from put the WRONG t-stat in it! May explain some things
Oh well, putting in a new t-stat, and hoping that it fixes some of the problem. Not counting on it though, my axle is covered in soot fro the exhaust on the drivers side, never been that way before.
few good things, no oil in my radiator, and no water in my oil, at least not yet
Gonna go get the right t-stat i na few, and put it back together, and we'll see
