Thick smoke out of tail pipe

Could be coolant goes engine,try headgasket fix.

You very likely have coolant entering the cylinders of the engine, you need the head pulled off and checked for cracks and if ok the head machined flat and replaced

the only way you can tell you blew a head gasket is if there is white smoke coming out of tail pipe or if there is anti freeze mixed with your motor oil ,check the dip stick if oil is creamy then you have a blown head gasket ,check your valve covers and hoses for leaks

2001 7.3 TURBO DIESEL ,CRANKS WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TURBO, AND THE TAIL PIPE NO START

You may have a blown piston ring, valve seals, valve guides, cracked head gasket or a cracked block, etc... It sounds major though for you to lose power suddenly and have all that smoke...

i think that you have to check the turbo for leak oil or problem after rebuild

you have a blown head gasket you need to get it to a shop as soon as you can

White smoke usually associated with water or moisture. it doesn't take too much water to produce white smoke. check

1. cloudy oil under oil cap
2. leak through gasket from cooling jacket to combustion chamber

White smoke is caused by coolant or water coming out the tail pipe. There is a chance that the white smoke was caused by water splashing up from a puddle onto the exhaust pipe. Keep an eye on the coolant level in the radiator in any event.
