Blue smoke is oil being burnt. Bad sign on a new truck. How is the oil level? I would take some videos of the smoke to document it before taking to the dealer...

Was a quart low within 1800 miles dealer said that is within GM's guidelines and it's normal they didnt even want to be bothered but I am taking  it back on Tuesday because  I bitched about it

Good plan. If they won't deal with it for you then maybe look into the emissions aspect of it. That may force their hand. Does you region having any sort of mandatory vehicle or emissions inspection? Make sure to get a copy of the repair order each time you take it in. My wife's Dodge van had a horrible noise on cold start. We took it to the dealer 3 times and left it overnight. Each time they called and said no noise noted. I called the dealer and asked for copies of the 3 repair orders and asked to be sure they noted mileage in and out (to prove they drove it) because I was going to contact Chrysler Canada and take it to another independent shop for diagnoses. Funny thing, they called my wife 8 minutes later and said they located the issue and would be replacing the transmission pump. It's ridiculous but the squeaky wheel gets the grease...

Just had the truck inspected it was fine with the emissions  test took it to my a garage  I use to use instead of the dealer.I have another appointment  for the dealer to look at the smoking on Tuesday  because  I called them and said I'm not satisfied  with them from last week not even wanted to be bothered  with the issue. If they still say that it's normal I'll have to threaten with a bad review and say I'm call gm .There no way a brand new truck should smoke like that .I've been taking videos every time I cold start it and it smokes.
