Smoke at start up
Heres the problem, I just had the oil changed and now when I start in the mornings I get bluish white smoke and a miss untill it warms up some. After that it will start great and no more smoke or miss. I put my AutoEnginuity scanner on and did a buzz test and all injectors sounded great and no codes that has to do with the problem. I did the buzz test when the engine was cold before the first start up. I dose start good but just smokes and then a miss.

I'm sure they used the right oil as I watched them change it, Rotela 15-40.
I could be glow plugs so I will have them checked out. With one or two burnt out make it miss untill it warms up?
I am leaving Thursday for Alabama for about 4 mo's for work and am trying to get ducks in a row and that is not top of the list. Will be pulling my 35ft fifth wheer (14,000 lbs).

I wonder if that is my problem. Not overly cold lately and I still get a puff of smoke at startup. Hmmmm. May have to ohm those glowplugs.
Good luck in Alabama. Hope the truck runs great for you.
