Default 7.3 with a little white smoke at idle

Newbe here. I have three 7.3 psds. My 1999 has 240k miles, we just install new injectors and GP. At idle it some times smokes and other times it runs fine. The smoke smells like diesel and when it dose it, the motor seems to miss or have a rougher idle. Any ideas

Ford replaced the Cam Senor under the recall, and updated the program. I still have a little bit of white smoke upon starting the truck in the moring but for only a few seconds. Once at operation temp, no more puffs of white smoke. I hope it stays that way.
