I have an 88' Chevy S10 pickup with a 4.3L engine and 4WD. about 6 months ago the engine was replaced because the original was ran without oil. This new engine is the same 4.3L but when it was put in i saw that it was putting white smoke out of the exhaust. Since then the problem has steadily gotten worse. Now that its summer the problem is unbearable. its like driving a diesel with all the smoke its putting out. When it starts getting above 90 degrees outside the truck tends to stall and shudders.

If its not being caused by coolant being burn in the cylinders -check the oil if it has fuel in it if so inspect the spider unit if its a vortec engine
