Need advice please! truck smoking constantly

My truck has been emitting a light colored haze from the tailpipe while at idle. I was thinking injectors probably, but i was just wanting to ask around and see. I am afraid that my edge ez has damaged them. Anyone else have a similiar problem???

when mine went on the 03 the first time it was a starting issue, the 2nd time i noticed a lot more smoke and higher egt's, the 3rd time it was a starting issue along with a rough idle no haze tho and no fuel in oil any of the 3times. 06 it was white smoke at start starting issue and rough idle hope this helped

As long as its not blue or white/gray smoke probably ok. Also depends on how your seeing it, on mine I can notice a slight haze(exhaust) in certian lighting conditions but can't see it in others.
