White smoke on start

I am having white smoke when I start up. I deleted the EGR 2 weeks ago and I noticed this yesterday and this morning when I started up. Any ideas?

2007 F250 6.0l 44,000 miles

Thanks
Jim

A little bit of white smoke on start-up is no cause for concern.

How did you go about deleting the EGR?

bismic,

I used the RCD EGR delete. I know some smoke is ok, but I never noticed any before 3 days ago. Could it maybe be the tune I am using? Also I live in Hawaii and its not like it ever really gets cold here.
