White smoke on start up
About 3 months ago I noticed that my truck puffs out some white smoke for about 5 seconds when i start it up after it has been sitting for awhile. Now I did some searching on here and found that this is most associated with a leaky injector but I haven't noticed any increase in oil. The truck only has 68k miles on it, could this be the problem or could there be something else.

On my 06 I had this problem twice. Both times it was due to leaky injectors. In total I had 8 injectors replaced. The first time was two and the second they replaced all 6. Worked both times.

Try changing the fuel filter. My filter had become plugged after only a couple of thousand miles and it was causing the truck to produce a cloud of white smoke and rough idle on start up. Changing the filter fixed it for me.
