odd starting behavior after sitting

my truck is running great with the exception if I park it for more than two days it starts with a very rough idle almost like a bang and some dark colored smoke coming out the tail pipe for about a minute anyone else experienced this or should I bring it to the dealer 2010 F350 5.4 . Once the truck is running doesn't skip a beat still getting decent gas mileage a little bit of oil consumption between oil changes but nothing major any ideas I really need it for work I hate to leave it the dealer for two days so they could see the problem but if I must I will after all it's a new truck I never experienced this with my other 5.4 quite odd , one other thing if the truck sits overnight no problem in the morning whether it's cold or hot it just seems to need two days for this to occur I'm scratching my head thanks again

If it is still under warranty, take it in.
