is this a diesel truck?
does this engine have a turbo?

if it is a diesel with a turbo,it will blow white smoke when cold till it warms up
if it continues to blow smoke check your air filter
other reason if it continues to blow smoke is the turbo is about to crater get it checked

also check engine oil for coolant loss

if coolant is leaking into cylanders,this will cause white smoke
