BIG problem!!!!

Sounds like you have a cracked piston. While its running remove the oil fill cap. Flip it over and set it down on the top of the fill tube. It will vibrate off, but it should not blow off.
Oil out the tail pipe is blown turbo or too much crank case pressure pushing oil out the turbo seals.

white smoke is due to lack of fuel, blue smoke is usually blowby, if you have oil in your exaust you probably have a bit of piston ring wear, check how much oil it uses and pull the dipstick out while the engine is running, if it puffs smoke you have some blowby. good luck.
Blue smoke is typically oil related
Black is fuel.
White can also be coolant, but is also accompanied by a very sweet smell, where as fuel will burn your eyes.

so what if the oil cap was to blow off not vibrate off? i havent tried it yet but if i have time tomorrow i will.

get an exhaust... you want the turbo (from what I understand, chime in if im wrong guys) to have the same amount of back pressure as boost that it's creating, so it runs 1:1 ideally. Our trucks down pipes are very restrictive, and the restriction of exhaust gasses will build up back pressure, so I would start with a more free flowing exhaust
But on the same token Id get a second opinion because everyone one here with a stock truck, like yours, would be having the same or similar problems if it were directly related to back pressure and back pressure only

to make the turbo thing make a little sense, it helped me, the turbo will create its own back pressure thats why you can run straight exhaust on these trucks, with out harming them. So, open it up as much as you can

yeah i can get a 3 inch shipped to my door for 100$...... got the truck back today and they said they had a guy from ford come hook a computer to it and said the turbo had something wrong in it causing it to have too much backpressure and blow oil out the exhaust. ughhh im getting sick and tired of this turbo bs.
