Default blue haze
So its about 25 degrees outside and i started my truck this morning. I noticed a very faint blue haze when it was initially started, but went away after a few minutes. is this normal or a sign of injectors going out?

This is normal like RR said. It is caused by a cold engine not completely burning up the fuel available.

Yea as stated above bud. No worries a cold engine dont burn ll the fuel inside the cylinder and as it warms up the fuel starts to burn completely

thanks for the insight. I guess a little part of me was hoping for the injectors going bad so i could justify buying some bigger ones
