White exhaust is water vapor. I will ask DH when gets home if he can tell me more, and I will pass it on if I figure out more.

Yep I know. And thats why I am so baffled. lol I have had my truck gone over many times... Oils clean, radiator is clean, coolant resevour is clean, but always empty

, even if I filled it earlier. If you or your DH has any ideas I would greatly except them. lol I'm sick of my truck, its down right emberassing driving it at times... Because even after it warms up, if I shut it off, it blows white exaust when I start it up again...

Ive been told, "oh it just needs to be ran, its just sat to long." "take it for a long drive on the highway and open it up! Clear out all that carbon." Well I know its not a carbon build up, and the truck hasn't sat for more than 4 days without being started and warmed up.

If you shut it off next time, it may not start, as it may have too much water in the cylinders, and water cannot compress, so the engine will lock up, they call it "hydrolicked" as a leak of water into the cyliners that gets bad enough will fill the cylinders, and so when you start it up, the crank cannot compress water. Nothing can compress water.
The engine will lock up, and not turn over.
The engine is designed to work by compressing air, and a cylinder with a raised round head is called a hemi cylinder, and alot of makes of vechicles that have hemi heads, it is not indegenious to Chrysler.
My daughter's Car had a hemi head cylinders in it. (Z-28)
OK, I am off to cook dinner.......

Thanks Chickielady for having your DH call! He gave me a little bit of hope. lol Now to get some one to let me borrow some tools or come help. lol
Oh and the truck is worth $5600 but I listed it at $3700.

Edited because I need a new keyboard. lol

OH does it not seem that all falls apart at the same time ???
Even still, it is indeed the winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, the longest night, and those of us that practice Wicca will rejoice ! This is the season of, and the celebration of LIGHT.
Stars, suns, moons, strings of lights, lights up and down the driveway...to bring back the sun !
I know, it sounds so REAL doesn't it ??
It is the darkest days winter and we have a festival of lights...Awesome, understandable to this very day, and very real, to this very day.

I think along the same lines as you do Chikielady! We are alot alike in many ways. lol And now that I have realised this... lol It explains alot.

I am going to talk with my DH tonight, and see if he is willing to help me get the gaskets, and some cash for my cousin. And I will let you know. As I sit now... I do not have the tools necesary to take the truck apart to check the gaskets... So I would need to sweet talk my younger cousin into looking at it for me again. lol Plus parts. Gotta talk to the other half before I decide iether way. But I will keep you two in mind!

DANG!!! I have wanted a big (or two) bottle trees for years !!!
Fantastic idea Haller !
And forgive me for being a turdhead...but what lawsuit ??????
And so glad hubby is better!

We bought this house a little more than three years ago. About three weeks after we moved in, we had that huge rain storm. We watched the water fill up the backyard and creep towards the house. I was on crutches with a broken foot, so it's good thing it stopped raining before the water reached the stairs down to the finished basement. We talked to the city about what could be done to prevent it happening again. It turns out that the city has an easement to flood 77 feet of our backyard. The easement pretty much prevents us from doing anything down there. It also is likely to flood every three or four years. It did last week end. The sellers had said there were no easements and no flooding in their form 17. We're hoping for enough money to build a seawall to prevent the flood waters from getting too close to the house.

you have the number ? Call DH when you need to, he LIVES to rescue and do "drivability" at this point

and I love it, we built engines and cars when we were kids, 55 chevys, 57 chevys, 57 GMC pickup...64 Bel Aire, etc and the point is, we built them. Kids now days do not build anything, they just give it a tune up...........................that is like a guy that buys his chicken eggs and meat at a grocerie, he has no right to claim pride from anything he actually did.
But the kids nowdase do think they are so cool to glue a airfoil on the back of a import and "tune it" with computer chips, and add a nasty loud muffler so it sounds like a Vintage UK sportscar, ANNOYING>>>>>HELLO!!! IT IS NOT A SPORTSCAR!!!!!!!!!

So let's dress up that old lincoln and add a nasty cherry bomb muffler and sell as a sportscar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
