I get a white/blue smoke as well if my truck has been sitting around, cold engine. I figured it's the drew's brew saying hello, I could be wrong. It stops after the engine has warmed up for a couple minutes.

Does it also have a slight miss when idleing cold and smoking? If so get some Lucas fuel additive and use per instructions, then drive hard. Mine cleared up after the second tank with Lucas in it.
