Strong smell of diesel.
It smokes a lot more now that its cold around here, but stops when she warms up.
Engine isnt warm enough to burn fuel completely at first start of the day?

 

check for leaks if there isnt any leaks you may need new injectors, but the smallest of fuel leaks will give you white smoke after a motor sits for a few hours or over night

 

initial start-up should smoke white briefly, heated fuel from glow plugs,passing not fully burned, hence white smoke.

 

idk if this has been settled out yet but has it mr psd? just wondering. my dads got a budyd that doesnt give a flying **** turd about his powerstroke and it does the same thing as yours was doing. i was helping them out and as soon as he started the truck a big azz thick white smoke ring of white smoke came out of the exhaust pipe. i thought oh dear lord? i asked him and he says he dont even care. what an incompetent dick-o-head

negative. my truck doesnt shoot out white smoke when i start it. very thin non black exhaust yes. but i know hwat this guy is talking about. hes talking about WHITE SMOKE. like VERY THICK WHITE SMOKE. ALMOST AS IF SNOOP DOGG TOOK A YANK OFF A BIGAZZ DOOB-A-PUFF DOOBIE AND BLEW IT OUT THE TAIL PIPE FOR 5 MINUTES. im not trying to be a know it all but he should figure it out hopefully soon. i would if it was my truck. good luck to you psd

 

I hear ya boss... I thinkit'd be a problem if it didnt smoke on a start up hahaha

 

When I read the first post, I initially thought of bad injector o-rings. When I saw the post that the exhaust smelled like fuel, I thought leaking injectors.

 

how many miles???? i would bet money its injector o-rings

all the ones i seen with bad cups had the cooling system filled with diesel, more pressure in the fuel system than the cooling.

 

What he said. check your O-Rings.

 

I know this is an older post. Just that years ago I owned a 1997 PSD 7.3 that did the same thing. It turned out to be bad glow plug harness.

 

Is this more like a white haze that disappears? Does water come out of the end pipe at the same time? if YES then it's normal. If it has a blue tint to it it's not normal. Does the truck do anything else that doesn't seem normal?
