I have had the economy mode installed for about month now and the truck runs very well. It does however, smoke quite a bit when I start it up in the morning and after it has set all day. Not black smoke, but bluish gray smoke. Is this normal?

Are you waiting to start the truck until the glow plug light goes out?

Yes, of course I am waiting for the glow plugs to warm up, but thanks for asking.

Can you give me more info about your truck so I can look into it?

My truck is a 2005 F350 6.0 automatic. The only modification is a Gibson cat back exhaust system and of course, the 1805 tuner. The truck has 13000 miles on it and run fine. It produces a large cloud of bluish gray smoke on a cold start and then smokes briefly. It uses no oil.
