Truck Smoke

I have a 2008 V10 superduty, just wondering if anyone has noticed a little white smoke on start up? I have seen this once in awhile on start up only when cold? I only have 46,000 miles on this truck and only started noticing this recently but not on every start up? Truck runs mint and has been the best truck I have owned to date, just wondering if anyone else has seen this with there truck.

truck runs like a top I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue. I swore off the diesels years ago as they have all given me nothing but trouble. My V10 is a beast with the 4:30 gear ratio and will do everything any diesel will do just cheaper. Thanks for the reply Von.

its normal if you start/run the engine only for a few mins then shut it off. next time you start the truck you'll get a short puff of smoke.
