36 years as a surf truck, now a city truck

New bluey is driving great! One issue I'm currently experiencing is smoke for the first few minutes with a cold engine. Once the engine warms up and I get into boost, the smoke goes away.

First video is about 1 minute after starting the engine on a 40F day (lots of smoke). Second video is after a 10 minute drive (no smoke)

What kind of mpg are you seeing? What are you doing to recent theft? This is a super cool truck, and I’m glad it’s worked out for you!
