2004 Silverado blowing smoke
2004 Silverado blowing smoke Hi all,
My dad has a 2004 Silverado with a 5.3L and is blowing blue/white smoke on start up. The truck is burning 2qts of oil for ever 1000 miles and 1/2 a gallon of antifreeze every 3000 miles.
Anyone know what the problem would be? Valve seals/head gasket???

2004 had castech heads that we're know for cracking and mystery coolant loss
As for the oil burning I would say that's a separate issue ... Do you run synthetic oil ??
Remove the rocker rails and check for the castech death symbol.under neath Check out the pic ..for where it located
