Ry, Have you checked: Trouble
Ry,
Have you checked:
Trouble codes?
Coolant level?
Oil level?
Engine compression?
White smoke is usually steam (coolant). Oil smoke is usually blue but can be mistaken for white. Diesel contamination in the fuel is usually grey but again I've seen people mistake it for white.
You can use a cooling system pressure tester with the spark plugs removed to check for coolant in the cylinders.
Post back with more info or questions. Thanks.

Look man, Jerry drivability and me are masters, but don't misunderstand what that means. In other words even a master can miss something and make a mistake. With that being said, and so that we can help you further, and so we can post accurate repair information, can you post in DETAIL the DIFFERENCE in your above statement?
Drive,
Remind you of somethin man?
