    exploded view, why would you need that?

    well if you got white smoke, you're burning coolant, so it's leaking from somewhere. probably LIM gaskets. so do them if you haven't already, replace with metal gaskets.

    You can go to a dealership service center and ask for the exploded view. They have them, but it depends on how cool you are with them.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    sorry..the exploded views I have are...exploded and not what you are lookin for.

    Basics are fuel rail, then charger, charger sits on lim. Then you are at those gaskets.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
