Injector Issue?

I recently noticed I might have some injector stiction, when I start the truck it runs kind of rough for about 30 seconds to a minute and then runs just fine but i get a little bit of white smoke that smells very rich. I have no degass bottle puking and if i start it and just start driving I have a decent amout of power loss. I was running stock but just tuned with SCT performance tune and still have the same problem on start up. Any ideas? I hear running synthetic oil will help or possibly using Archoil additive let me know what you think. Thanks for help!

A bunch of recent threads with similar issues. Start by checking your FICM, after that fuel pressure and after that you are probably looking a replacing an injector or two. Whole bunch of threads about oil additives etc..., but I think that if you have stiction issues, they will only be fixed by replacing the injectors. You may prolong it, but in the end you will end up changing the injector.
