No smoke on start and it always fires within the first second of cranking. There is some condensation shortly after startup like any other car in the cold but it goes away faster than any non-diesel I have ever had, my mail truck for comparison seems to have that condensation in the exhaust all day. I do plug it in overnight but cant plug it in at work which is ususally a 8-10 hour shift. I also have tipped the passenger mirror down and I do see some grey, black haze sometimes after shifting but it's nothing that is like a cloud you could see in the rear view. If I get on it full throttle to redline in say 4th it makes a little more grayish haze but the streets are still dusty as well.
I did get the Baldwin feul filter in a 2 pack from Amazon but was waiting to install with the guage as it goes in the bottom of the filter housing and I don't want to drink it twice.
I hope to try more of what you have said but I have been working 6 day weeks and resting Sundays so it's slow testing.
