Smoke !!!

Everyday when I start up my engine in the morning, I let me truck heat up and if I leave the truck on park it will not blow light white smoke but once I start accelerating the truck to leave , it tends to blow light white smoke on the tail pipe and then after maybe 5 minutes of driving it will go away. So this happens basically only when I cold start the engine. I have the EGR deleted on my truck. So what can this be ? Glow Plug is bad and not warming up properly? Bad Injector? I don't feel a lost of power to the truck.

Any help????????

How cold is it where you live?

Could be an injector failing

Could be condensation burning off?

I live in Miami, FL so the weather out here doesn't get so cold , I think it is an injector failing but like I said , I don't feel lost of power. I just got to see what codes the truck gives me.

Then I would doubt a glow plug or condensation wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Some times a failing injector wont throw a code.

I would run a balance test/buzz test

White smoke is water or condensation - sources include coolant and/or fuel and/or air.

Blue smoke is fuel - sources include a sticking injector, injector seals, broken ring, Turbo oil seal.

Turbo oil seal. Remove the exhaust down pipe and have a peak.
