Default blue smoke when starting
Hey guys, i have 06 hemi and just today i had my g/f start my truck for me and noticed some blue smoke came out of the pipe when she started it. It was only at first, then it disappeared. Is this something i should take it to the dealership?? Warranty expires march '10

Thanks

Typically that's from leaky valve stem seals.. Sounds odd for a truck that new though..

It usually happens after the engine has been sitting for a while. Thats a good idea to check it in the morning.
