have this happened to any of yall? wth was going on?
white smoke mean coolant getting into the combustion chamber. check to see if your oil on the dip stick and in the valve covers are milky. could be anything from a bad head gasket to a cracked head. It may disappear and reappear, and get worst with time.

Please explain...

Every car/truck i've ever seen on a cold start up on a day like yesterday with the humidity/cold and what not does it. I always figured it was just the condinsation burning off. Especially since i have LT's with no cats i've never worried about it. It never does it once its warm, or when the outside temp is warm.

Garrett's describing smoke and I thought thats what your talking about with your, now I see what your describing is condensation, steam whatever you want to call it.
