With the cool weather coming on, I have been noticing that when I start up after the truck has been sitting for a while (more then an hour) I get a little white smoke. The longer the truck sits the more white smoke it puts off. Is this a gasket problem, or is it just part of the truck warming up?

White smoke is water vapor and it is common in the winter. Water collects in the exhaust system and is burned off (turned into steam) as the truck wearms up. NO problem to be concerned about. Any other color smoke is something to be concerned about.

if you get real ambitious, you might want to check your glow plugs, but if they all pass (and the relay, too), drive on...
