What does this sound like?

We are having a cold snap here in Southeast Louisiana and the mornings have been in the mid to low 30`s.I have 65,000 miles.When I try to crank up in the morning if she starts on the first two tries she runs very rough and sometimes kills.I sometimes have to nudge the accelerator a bit to get her going and usually works with a big plume of grey and white smoke.I have also notice a small pool of coolant under the truck where I park.Oh yeah,one more symptom,while idling with the heater on,very minimal heat.When I rev her up to about 1200 RPM noticeably hotter.There also seems to be a miss while idling.Thanks for any input to my dilemma.

INJECTORS. I had the same problem around Christmas and had three injectors replaced.
