Default 6.9 idi wont start

Hi. I have a 6.9 idi that wont start. The truck will run on starting fluid but not of diesel. I put new return lines on it an new o rings around injectors. I also put new fuel filter on it and new diesel it the tank. When the truck turns over their is white smoke coming from exhaust. I bled all the injector line several times too. i dont know what else to do to get this truck running. Is their a solenoid that could be bad or am i just not doing something right . Please help!!!

Is your lift pump working?If you put this in the ford 7.3 section you'll get a better responce.This is the introduce yourself section.

Also check to see if you glow plugs are new. The cylinder may not get hot enough to ignite the fuel in the cylinder
