If it was the headgasket you would not have as much boost and therefore have black smoke, not white. Maybe an injector?

Sounds like an injector or you burnt a piston. Not good.

Have heard of several people that ran to much timing that the burnt piston happened to. Hopefully, not you and it is just an injector that is stuck open. IF it is stuck open don't run it or you will have a melted piston. Sounds like time for injectors to be done.

Sounds like an injector. Check the oil to see if the level is rising from an injector leaking. Also, smell the exhaust and see if it smells like raw fuel

Well, if I were you I would be pulling all the injectors out and sending them to Don for a upgrade to a set of Flux 1 sticks at least and a rebuild job if your cores are good. Get with Lmills, he can hook you up. Cost wise you are looking at 1500 to 2000 dollars. New sticks from Dodge is crazy high (600 a piece) and from Cummins they are around 300-400 a piece.

Milky oil is from coolant contamination. Head gasket or cracked head.

U think I could have cracked the head? Shouldn't it take a littel more horsepower to do that?

there is no set limit as to when a head will crack or a headgasket will blow it happens to stock trucks. pulling the head is not that hard of a job
