just wondering if anybody has any suggestions, when i start the truck after it has sat it bellows white smoke, doesn't seem to have water in the oil, not burning any coolant so im not sure what is happing

 

For how long does it smoke white? Mine (and most diesels) will smoke white on cold mornings until they warm up but it's not normal for it to keep smoking white after it warms up some.

How cold is it where the truck is sitting?

 

Does it seem to idle rough also?

 

WHite smoke can be a sign of a leaky injector.

 

white smoke can also be low compression

 

Or a dying vp44, sorry i hate saying that

 

Does idle ruff, sometime i have to shut it down and restart it. It does it anytime after it sits but it does go away after i run it

 

check codes. I'm going to say you have a 0216.

 

White smoke usually occurs when there is not enough temperature to burn the fuel. The unburned fuel particles are then exhausted usually by a rich fuel smell. In cold weather it is not uncommon to get white smoke until engine temperature builds up. One cause of white smoke on engine start up could be a faulty grid heater. Low engine cranking speed can also create an excessive amount of white smoke.

If the problem persists, after the engine is up to operating temperature several other things should be checked. A faulty injector can cause white smoke. Timing is often a factor when white smoke is excessive. Low engine compression can cause the problem and the injection pump can also have problems that result in white smoke. Air in the fuel system can also result in white smoke.

Definitely, scan for codes and see what turns up. use an actual scanner or Smarty - dont rely on the key turning trick.
