If I rev my truck off idle I also will see a faint bit of smoke ,,,, As far as the white smoke was it possible just white as in steam vapor from first start up on a cold 'ish mourning ?? What were the ambient temps ??
Sounds like you have nothing to worry about ,IMO ....

If I rev my truck off idle I will see smoke also ,black ..... I never see white smoke unless it's a cold start on a cold day ,you have ruled that out ...White (not steam) is a sign of unburnt diesel ... Black smoke if NOT excessive is normal ...
You have two choses ...
1) Keep and eye on it if it persist bring it in ...
2) Bring it is and explain to service personal your sightings and a Tech II diagnostic will show if there is a problem with an injector(s) ...

I had the same problem with my 2001, I took in to the GM Dealer and they ran a Diagnostic check on the engine and said it was in excellent condition. I havn't noticed it as much lately.

yeah i need to take mine to the dealer for some minor things ill proble say something has any one eles had thes probles? i love my truck dose great on pullin.
I have the same problem with mine, only mine starts to idle rough when it starts throwing white smoke. Recently found out an injector is bad. One is on order and will hopefully be here soon.
I am wondering if driving it until the new injector is put in will cause any long term problems. I have the LLY w/ 5500 miles on it.

I'm getting new injectors as we speak(supposed to be done Friday). I didn't notice white smoke at idle(full operating temp) until right before my appointment. I first noticed it sitting at a stoplight with the wind blowing towards the front of my truck, caught a glance of it. I also would have a rough idle when first arriving at a stoplight as if my injectors took too long to balance out.
If it's enough for you to notice at full engine temp sitting in the cockpit and looking out the mirror then you probably have an issue.
