What do you think..
My truck in sig. has 89k and change on it and i'm **** on maintaince with on it.
The truck used to start within 2-sec of turning the key,it would kick right over.
now it takes 4 to 6 sec (seems much longer crankin) to start,
It runs good when runnin,
past couple of days wiffey noticed blueish exhaust smoke,and when you rev it abit it will puff out blueish exhaust,
There's no cel's but I don't have a scanner either, to check for codes.
And I do have the Extended diesel care from Ford for 200,000 miles and until 2013.
I going to schedule it in to my dealer to get it checked but would like to get ideas on what it could be .
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Rich

These are interstates,group 65, 850cca ...what should they read after being load tested , also I have 1-treatment of hot-shots left gonna put it in tomorrow and will see if it makes a difference on stiction.hmmm i've been runnin 2-stroke oil in fuel for lubrication but since the crankin time got longer i stopped about a month ago,and only useing DKleen.I wonder if that contributed to longer crankin times, also lets see if HS's helps .This will be a interesting learning experience ...

I have an 05' and it does the exact same thing. I checked everything out, went and got the new reflash and what do you know, when it gets 30-35 degrees it still blows smoke out for a few minutes until warm and then it quits. If it is above 35 doesn't smoke a bit. I think it is just exhaust fumes and moisture. Does your truck run great other than the smoke? Mine runs great other than the smoke. If you do find something out let us know. But it has stumped me and for real I am not going to worry about it. My cat and muffler are off as well. Is yours? I think this does contribute to the smoking when it colder becouse of less back pressure and it take longer for the exhaust to warm up. Let us know. Eric
