I bought a Beck Arnley unit from RockAuto which luckily turned out to be a repackaged OEM part. The truck starts up instantly and idles up great.
Perhaps a quick check on that sensor could net some answers.
The poof of smoke on startup is characteristic of failed valve stem seals. Is it blue smoke?

So I've been slacking of late. I definitely have a cold start problem. Once up to temp, it runs strong, but still has a nasty exhaust smell.
Honestly, I do not know about the startup 'smoke. I believe its white, but I need to let the kid start it and watch.
Still getting minor back fire on decel, so I know I have some work to get to.
