Ok some of you may know I was having an unknown problem with my truck smoking on cold start ups. Well here is a picture of after it sits overnight without the block heater plugged in.

Wouldn't you like to know
I'll have to try to get some pics of mine today. It always smokes on cold starts but never has a problem starting. Smoke also clears right up after you drive it.

I can't see any color in that smoke, almost looks like steam. If its pure white, I wouldn't worry about it. We have 3 diesels and they all make smoke like that for the first 5 minutes in cold weather. Longer, depending on conditions.
