I thought I saw a pic of your truck and the third brake light looked different than what I've seen? Unless yours is tinted and I saw it wrong?

Woah this is new, went to start my truck this morning after sitting in 8-10 degree weather the last 2 days and it failed to start the first crank, very weak start. Cranked fine the second time but there was a small amount of blue smoke from the exhaust.. A result of the failed crank? Not sure, my battery is brand new, the best battery the sell.. Cant remember of the top of my head.. And my alternator is good, is this normal? Maybe i didn't crank it for long enough, i normally just have to bump my key over and she starts right up.. Yall are the engine guys why i posted here ha

Valve seals letting oil leak by after a day or two of sitting, it's normal enough, youll know when valve seals get bad it will smoke a lot

good to know! Im hoping that it was just because of the "half ***" crank for a lack of a better term and not the valve seals because she doesn't burn oil at all last time i changed the oil i checked how much i lost and it was very very little.
