Default 5.7 Hemi puffs blue smoke at

03 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi with under 3,500 miles puffs blue smoke during start up like overnight or after sitting for 3 to 4 hours? Anyone having this problem with their Hemi's? Appears to be valve stem seal(s), guides or both? Talked with the dealer about this any they haven't heard or seen this problem plus there is no TSB or recalls<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0"> <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley6.gif border="0"> Guess I will have to take it back to the dealer. Hope this isn't going to be a problem down the road? I remember the Chrysler 3.0L with the alumium heads and valve guide problems!

I'm having a problem like that with a 5.9L engine right now. It will blow blue smoke when the engine is cold. but when i drive it around a little the problem seems to go away. Still trying to figure out whats going on with it.

Valve seepage would be my guess.
