Wink white smoke

i have a 03 psd 6.0L And it has about 60k on it . and well i am in AZ and its not that cold here (40-60 in the morning. I have only had truck for about 2 months and it has not been smoking intill i programed it for one day( did some test driving, not that hard and egt did not get to high) anyway i unprogrammed truck for now and the next day when i started it it had a little bit of white smoke come out for about 1 min...now it only did this once that day, and has not done it but a few time since then,So i dont know if maybe the glow plugs were not all working and maybe this caused this,( i did noticed while programming with the edge that the glow plug light was on and was thinking maybe one of them was damaged due to this?), anwya any help, would be great
thanks
chad

Hows your coolant level, White smoke usually means coolant in the cylender or a cold engine.

I wouldn't be too concerned. Mine (and many others I've seen) bellow out white smoke if left to idle extended periods of time. For about a mile after long idling, it's almost scary. Then it's fine. A very common occurence.

i check the coolent level today, and it is not low.
its only been doing this (that i know of) for a few weeks and does not always do it, but i checked it on first start up (today) for the day and it did it for about5-10 sec, not real heavy but you can see it . i would not worry about it to much but i did not noitice it before i programed the truck, have had tune off , and i also i going to be making my own bio fuel soon and want to make sure i did not have any problems before i start.
