Question

My truck blows smoke and I have to keep the rpm's up in the afternoon when I leave work (it's worse the lower the temp is) until it warms up a little. Fires right up in the morning after she's been plugged up overnite. This is my first winter in the Midwest, so I'm not used to dealing with the severe temperatures. Do I need to use a fuel additive or anything to make this better, or just suck it up and deal with it?

Our ranch has a 94 12 valve auto with 409000 miles on it and it smokes a little when cold and is doggy like you say until it warms up, I should mention it only does this when not plugged in and 30 degrees or less.
