Without plugging it in--- cloud of bluish white smoke on takeoff.
On cold 10*F or lower nights, when I start my truck in the morning and back out of the driveway I start to go and it chugs out a cloud of bluish white smoke - cold combustion?
Clears up right away.
Doesn't do it when its decent out.

what you are seeing is normal, an cold starts and drives the moisture in the exhaust system becomes somting like fog due to rapid cooling in he tailpipe, the blueish colour is (I think) just the cold diesel fuel etc etc.. my truck at this time of year does this on a daily basis, simply because the average temp here for feb is 10*F about -10*c
hope this helps.

I should add that it doesnt want to move - like its chugging - until all of that smoke is out - like 2-3 seconds.
If I let it warm up (Easton on the accelerator) then it doesn't happen.

yes that can happen to me too, I think is just the turbo not wanting to spool, due to the cold and thick oil.
you may find that it stalls due to rapid movements on the accellerator pedal while in gear as well.
