Chip is back in!
Ok guys, So I was able to get my chip back in place today and went to start it. Keep in mind its ten degrees out. It started and ran terribly. So i plugged it in for an hour and started it again, This time it ran good. Put it in high idle for 5 minutes and it smoked white with a hint of blue the entire time. Went to drive it, under acceleration it still smoked blue. It stopped smoking once i drove it down the street. However if i locked out OD and stepped on it, it would smoke blue with a mix of black in it. Is this because it was ten degrees or am i having an issue here? I dont have a scanner. It ran good other than that. Also, i just changed oil two days ago. Thats really all i've done to the truck for a while. It has been in warmer climate the last couple weeks but not by much, Maybe in the 20's and 30's. This was the first night its sat in 0* temps.

I fill it up all the time!!! That's all the attention my checkbook can handle!!! Ok, I hope it is the cold weather. It ran pretty good with the chip in. I hope it lasts. I was just worried the blue smoke was hanging around a little longer than it was supposed to. I just wanted to make sure this is normal in this cold **** weather.

10° or not, after its up to Normal operating temp, all that should be irrelivant. if its doing its after 10 to 15 minutes then id say you have a pressure issue of some sort. or an oil oring issure someweres. but if this is concerning you after 5 minutes on a stone cold pig then dont worry about it! mines a tad skippy on freezing days, 10 minutes later and she runs like the day it came off the lot!

It ran great once i got it warmed up. Just the colored smoke when i punched it once about 30mph. Other than that, it ran clear and only black smoke under heavy acceleration. But not even much of that... I asked Tony to keep it respectable and also do what he could to take care of my transmission.

I'm not real concerned that its a chip thing that would cause the blue smoke... My concern is if the cold was making it smoke blue more than normal. I don't see it being an issue with the chip. But that is a thought, maybe i will take the chip out once it stops being crappy outside. Thanks

It was the cold weather and being in the single digits. It finally cleared up enough for me to want to go play with it this afternoon. It started right up being about 30 degrees outside and light blue haze upon start up. Started driving and it immediately went away. After that point, it was only black smoke when i was goosing it. Seems to be running pretty good. I just need to take it easy on the truck because I'm not sure that the transmission is too happy with my injectors and chip...
