03 5.9. Rough idle tons of white smoke

My sons truck idles rough and smokes white severely. The smoke does not clear up as it warms up. He has a check engine light but it’s only low circuit codes. Replaced the fuel filter and added some Lucas diesel additive No results. Was thinking about pulling all the injectors and having them tested. Any help is greatly appreciated

What do smoke colors mean?
Hello!
What year is it? Is this a CR engine? Did you notice any oil or coolant loss?
Have the PCV system checked, as it can make symptoms like this if blocked.
