Question 6.0 Smoke on start only

[jherman]

My 2006 6.0 i just bought has small amount of smoke when i strart it cold, does not do it when it is warm only after sitting over night, i did not notice when i bought it. I ran the oasis on it before purchasing and it had a large standard list of items that had been done in the 102k miles of its life.
New EGR, new injectors overheated lost power, all these seem kind of normal for this motor. Just wondered what would cause smoke on cold start. Any thoughts to put my mind at ease would be welcome.

White smoke, Black smoke???

this is kind of dumb but i have to start the truck looking in the mirror. this is the only way to see it becasue it happens so fast and then its gone, so i am going to say the smoke is not white but not black either kind of in between possibly with a blue HUE to it if that is possible, sorry i am not trying to make it hard but that is the best i can do until i get somebody to help me start it cold and i stand outside and watch.

Mine has done this since the first oil change my dealer performed in 2003. Mine is a bluish-tint. Had it looked at several times, nothing found wrong. I have noticed that Rach's 05 EX does it from time to time as well. Seems to be semi-normal.

Remember its a Diesel they do smoke a little, especially when its cold out - Don't worry about it
