Got to stop throwing money at it... White smoke could be many things...

Have someone with a good nose drive behind you when its doing it. See if it smells of fuel or coolant.

I would guess its a turbo issue, the o rings are more then likely leaking oil past and into the exhaust. Most times this happens when under load. If you leave it idling for a long time see if it does it worse for a bit.

I took it to 3 mechanics all of them said injectors. And it smells like fuel. its getting to much. and letting it sit al a idle it just sits there the same. I had one mechanic say it might be my harness.

Did any of them hook it up to a scanner and look at anything?

If not then go find a real diesel shop that knows what they are doing.
