smoke issue

i got 4 links to videos of my truck idleing the first one is first start up i let it run on normal idle for 5 mins before turning up high idle i have to chips in the truck the seccond video is high idle after its been going for 15 mins. third video is it idleing after warm up and fourth is just me reving it a little the truck smokes quite excessive and i got the project on hold till i can figure out its reason for smoking this much. if you watch the videos let me know what you think

What do you mean by two chips? I can't watch the videos since I'm at work. Do you have a code scanner.

I can't help but to notice the metric jibber jabber....where are you from?
I can't watch the videos.
How old is the oil...is it low?
New O-rings can never hurt.

The O-rings are not that hard to change. You should think about doing the GP's at the same time (since you are already there). I would even think about rebuilding the fuel filter houseing ( more O-rings) as well. SkatchUwhere-a? cool, I hear it is nice up there!
