Question Blue Smoke???

Just went to start my brand spankin new 01 L and to my demise a sizable puff of blue smoke perked out of the tips for the first second of start up.This seems to only happen When the truck has been sitting over night.Anyone else experience this?Is this normal?

Mondo1,

It's probably just a bit of oil seeping around the valve guides. As they break in, it will probably quit doing it. The new motor they installed in my truck is doing the same thing.

Give it some time and see if it lessens before you get overly concerned.

Its Happened to me also. but lately it hasn't. So I say the same thing, It's probably when still not broken in.
