If you want to talk about smoke. Our one grain truck has a 1970's Cummins non- turbo V8 in it. It will fire right up on the coldest days but, OH MY GOD the smoke. Stinkiest stuff you ever smelled too. If you get it on your clothing you can smell it all day. On cold days I start it up and run like heck to get away from it. You could drive it away like that but, it takes 10 minutes to pump up enough air into the tanks to get the air brakes to work anyway.
You should check on the air leak or a weak compressor, dude!
10 minutes is a exaggeration on my part. It's more like 5. There are 2 big air tanks and you have to get them up to 60 pounds before the buzzer stops. It's just the way it's always been. All of our other trucks are the same way.
