Yeah, I think I got some other problem. I replaced the line because it broke when I was driving. I did put the clamps back on. I drove my truck to work, 10 hours laters I had problems starting it. After starts it's easy to start it again. The problem is when it seats. I check all the lines and I don't see a leak. I'm planing to change the fuel filter tomorrow and look for leaks.

Sounds like an air leak into the return lines. It may not show as a fuel leak, but the air will leak in and the fuel will siphon back to the tank causing hard starts.
My guess is you need to do a return line kit, or at least replace the o-rings if the plastic caps and fuel lines look fine. size #111 viton rings. There are PLENTY of threads discussing return lines....

A quick tip to see if the return lines are leaking at all: Park the truck, let it sit overnight, slowly pull the fuel filter off the next morning, IF IT'S NOT FULL to the brim with fuel, you have a leak.

I finally had time to replace the return lines and seals. Now the truck starts normal. The only problem I have is that it's throwing tons of smoke, white smoke. That wasn't like that before. What do you guys think I did wrong to make that happen? When I come to a complete stop the engine sounds like is having trouble getting fuel.
