Lots of White Smoke, especially at startup

Man I seeem to have a lot of white smoke especially at startup and especially when cold.
(Like Raw Fuel, not anti freeze)

Anything to check??? Grid heaters are working, you can see it pulling the voltage down and dimming the lights.....

maybe I'm just paranoid. I dunno.

I lost a chunk off my tailpipe so the ehaust comes out around the back axle about mid way back of the box. So it all kinda drifts up around the box and stuff, maybe that effect has something to do with it as opposed to just shooting out of the tailpipe and right out into the atmosphere...

Seems excessive to me though.

How cold is cold?

Mine does a pretty good mosquito fogger if it's below 20F, even if it's plugged in.

as long as it clears up as the truck warms up, I wouldn't worry about it... I also would try to be easy on the throttle and not pour out the white smoke... unburnt fuel = accelerated wear.

Sounds completely normal to me, the 24v smokes on start up because the fuel isn't burning completely till the engine warms up. More so when it's cold out. So I bet your truck is fine. My truck smokes alot when it's cold out. No worries man.
