Injector O-Rings????
hey guys just the other day my rig started a new little thing. while driving down the road the power is fine and no smoke. if i let it sit there and idle for about 10 minutes and start to drive it will smoke white for about 3-5 seconds then clear up. o rings maybe? this could be a great excuse for me to tell the wife i NEED those swamps injectors ive been eyeballing for the last 8 months.......

You are absolutely right Bill. Injectors are the only thing that can cause the white smoke that will kill your engine if you don't get new injectors.
How's that?
EDIT: You might need a new turbo too.

Based on your symptoms, I figured you probably did.
A few folks have reported the 38r's doing exactly what yours is doing. No white smoke until the truck sits at idle for a few minutes. Then step on the pedal, and blow some white smoke, and it's gone again.
Most likely, the leak probably won't get any worse. But do keep an eye out just in case.
