hey guys i got something i need some insight on. I just did some stuff to me truck and before this i had not been monitoring my engine all that much, no problems or symptoms so i thought no need. Well ive got smoke coming from out of my dipstick tube. It looks as if it may be blowby but i can't really be sure. it is very consistant and dark in color. the truck runs great, no problems and the recent stuff is everything listed below. any and all help would be greatly appreciated. i don't want to blow my truck up or have anything happen to her. you guys know how i feel so let me know what you think. Thanks

Some constant blow-by is normal out of the dipstick. When you say dark in color do you mean blue? If you haven't allready you should change your'e CDR, the canister on the pass side valve cover, that's just a good maintence practice.
