another white smoke question

5°F this morning... forgot to plug it in last night...

started like a dream, but had heavy white smoke for the first 30 seconds and steady medium/light white smoke while it continued to warm up in my driveway for another 5 minutes.

should the smoke continue to pour out that long? gp's/gpr are brand new...

thanks!
eric

Idiot neighbor next door says my truck is on its last leg because it smokes like that on cold mornings, he said that 3 years ago. I 've been around heavy equipment all my life, diesels puff out the smoke when started cold, check your oil a little more often during the winter months you'll probably need to add a little from time to time.

Ya what they said.
The colder it gets the more it smokes. Mine in about the low 20*s i can even see the smoke pick backup alittle bit after the gp's have gone off. I have no EBPV.

I get "what's wrong with your truck, why does it smoke like that" at work all the time. I even had someone say I was gonna get "told on" they thought i was making it do it on purpose. I work with ash kizzing morons.

I got a greenie here. Have not caught him/her yet, but when i do Iam going to hang him/her from the tree they are trying to save!
I have a nice little BB mod in the side of the truck. I even heard the shot that morning. 1 of 3 people. I only wish i was 100% on the 1. I would have shot back (CC HK-C45). BS I go thru because of some smoke. I love though

Hey Madvan how did you manage to get that. What I have been told they will put you thru the wringer just to get a target pemit in Nassau. As much as I would like to get a target permit it looks like a major pain. I was thinking of using one of those pistol permit sevices but I am not to sure about them.

The price you pay for living in a liberal state........
