black smoke/white smoke

upon start up my truck would puff a small amount of black smoke. the dealer disconnected then reconnected my turbo and now the puff of smoke is not as black but more of a grey or close to white. might the change of color have something to do with the weather getting colder ? nights here in so cal are getting into the low 50s.

thanks,
david h

Re:black smoke/white smoke

i forgot to say on the above post that the truck runs great with much boost when i get on it. the turbo does not whine as much as before but still the truck runs strong.

thanks

My '03 will smoke white on bitter cold mornings (single digit temps), especially if I don't hit the grid heaters twice.

Don't think you'd hit those temps often in sunny SDiego.
