Excessive steam from exhaust


Recommended Posts

Has anyone noticed an excessive amount of steam from their exhaust on the 6.6 gas?

 

It was sort of humid out and The visible steam from the exhaust when I drove a short ways was concerning.  Im wondering if there isnt some fuel mix issue with these trucks, which reminded me of a short lived cold start problem I had last winter.  The dealership sort of shrugged and said everything looked OK, but I wonder if we will get a slew of rough start complaints again this winter

Water is one of the things produced by combustion.

 

If it was only driven a short distance it may not have got the exhaust system hot enough that the exhaust stream would include steam (invisible) instead of water vapour (visible -- but often incorrectly called 'steam').
