Blue smoke?

I just got new injectors, would this cause blue smoke? The mechanic also said it would do that until I hit around 300 miles

It'll run bad until the air is bled from the oil system. If you can, do a buzz test with cold injectors. Do you have any IDM codes?

What's a buzz test, I'm new to the diesel world and I'll see what the codes are when I get in my truck truck but I'm pretty sure it has 5 codes

It'll smoke, cough, spit, and be "cranky" in the morning until you get some miles on it. Oh... and the smoke is more than likely white. You're used to blue smoke that can come from a gasser, and white smoke looks very similar. White smoke is atomized fuel.
