So today it was in the 30s this morning. Went out and started my truck and it puffed just a little bit of pure white smoke. And instead of firing up it kinda stumbled on start up. And the idle isnt clean its choppy and rough. All the truck has is a smarty Jr tow tune with timing at 2, and 145xxx on it.

Using oil? Running hot? Loosing water? Water in oil?
Think I'd start a compression test on each cylinder. Pressure the coolant system. Those 2 things could give you more info.

To a certain extent, when it's cold, small amounts of white smoke like that can be normal. Unlike when I cold started my ford with 5 out of 8 glow plugs not working and it billowed white smoke haha.
As stated above, check all fluids first to make sure it's not something serious.

Okay fellas sorry for being absent. But I just to let you guys know that I took my truck to the dealer(first in long time) they said the truck is complete Healthy and said the puff of white smoke is common for a cold start. They didn't say anything about the rough idle but it has cleared up in the past few days
