Lots of smoke on startup?

My truck seems to smoke a lot on startup, for about 2 minutes you could smoke out a parking lot, is this normal?

Before everyone starts yelling go top left to user CP and fill out your signature so we know your year and trans.

To answer your question though, a little smoke at startup maybe lasting 5 seconds or less is normal no more than that, just the initial fuel in the cylinders leftover before it fires.

White or black smoke?

Cold start, or cold and warm starts?

Where are you located, as that would indicate how cold the mornings are.

I'll add the signature request.

Can't diagnose if we don't know what we are diagnosing.
