white smoke.....

Had to remove my good old edge system, as I had to take a trip to the dealer for the intercooler hose replacement.....I also disconnected the batteries just incase there were some codes thrown...Its been 3 days since I took the truck in, and everytime Ive started her up since then, and get going, I get a puff of white smoke, nothing really major, and its not that thick. But definatelly noticeable. It didnt do this with the edge installed. Anyone know what might be going on??

Also, what has been the temperature? Does it smoke just when cold? What else was done to the truck at the dealer?

Its an 04 with build date of I believe february. This is the first time I have had any smoking problems. The temps in the morning are somewhere in the mid 40's. While at the dealer, they also said they cleaned my screen in the fuel tank because I had a problem with not getting an accurate signal on my gauge....that was supposedly their remedy....

Try the fuel additive first. See if that doesn't clear it up.
