Default What is going on?

Hey guys so my truck is bein all weird and i can't rap my head around whats going on. So it starts fine idles fine everything fine but it's blowing a **** load of white smoke out the exhaust still will blow black but once it goes back to idle the white takes over. You guys have any clue what it could be? Is it an injector issue??

Check for pressure in your cooling system. And does it smell sweet?
Its for sure white? Could be a bad turbo possibly?
Bad injector? Does it knock?
Just throwing out options here

How does the exhaust smell? Sweet or like fuel? How does your oil look?

Injector(s) problems are my diagnosis. Check for codes, yet?

Yeah more than likely injectors bud. Check for codes but I would say that's your problem.
