Sometimes when i start my car, puffs of white smoke come out. I have heard a few different things about. How it could possibly be condensation and gasoline. Or it could be a head gasget going bad. But i really don't know.
If it stops after a puff than I would say more likely a valve not seating properly, if it runs fine dont worry about it. If it overheats then be concerned about a blown head gasket.
Valve stem seals.

when i got the truck, it had a tune up. So i guess it was what you said about the valve. I've had it for a month, and i have had no overheating problems. By the way, do you know anything about transmissions?
henry is right, valve stem seals. oil leaks past the valve stems seals when setting and that oil goes into the cylinder and burns when you first start the truck. you could run forever unless it gets a lot worse. old john
What do you want to know about them, I can try to honestly answer your question, I wont answer if I dont know about the problem you asking.
is there any way i could fix it. or should i just wait it out and hope it doesn't go bad
I was wondering what are some signs of a bad transmission. Or one about to go bad. I dont really know much about trucks, just trying to find out some facts. I don't really have a specific question for it.
