I have had this truck for the past couple of years and it always smokes when it is cold for about 10-15 seconds and then runs fine. It doesn't use that much oil or coolant and it doesn't seem to hurt the performance. what can i do? I also just hit 181250 miles (290000 km) and as it turned over the check engine light came on what could that be?

Sounds like you got a leakdown valve lifter/s problem and for the CEL jumper TEN to GND in the check connector and read off the code/s
