Truck blows white smoke til engine warms up..??
I have a 6.0..arp head studs, new head gaskets, egr delete, new oil cooler all put in back at the end of 2010. It's been doing it since i had all that work done and has gotten pretty bad here lately. I asked numerous techs what it could be..no one knows.

And i just had all the computer test run on it a few days ago..its showing not codes or anything.

What does the smoke smell like? It could go two ways here, but the smell will tell us which direction to point you.
Either it's sweet smelling like coolant,
or fuel smelling, which will burn you eyes a little, and it's fuel.
Let us know and get back to us.

Same Thing happened to me...... took fuel filter out and it was covered in junk. Wasnt getting enough fuel but once up to normal temp no smoke. Also, the fuel pump was humming loudly at all times if this helps at all

Well did you change the filters?
It seems kind of silly to ask about a fuel flow problem knowing you have clogged filters no?
Change filters, repeat test. Still having issues?
Did you check the FICM? You can google search it. Or PM me for my number and I'll walk you through it. I can even repair the dang thing for ya.

they had no idea. So i got tired of it and started to fix it myself removed my turbo and could barily see a little oil under the exhaust wheel so i rebuilt the turbo and now no smoke. 
If the turbo seal is bad any it will blow white smoke when you take off it will get worse the longer you run it. Good luck
