7.3L Help.
I have a 2000 Ford F-250 with a 7.3L Powerstroke in it. Just recently I went on vacation for 2 weeks, and I came back my truck had some problems. When I start up the truck white smoke comes out of the exhaust, the truck also runs like complete crap. It sounds like its running out of fuel, when I know it has plenty. Can I get any help please?

Welcome to FTE Texascalidrum.
A few questions.
How many miles on the truck?
Have you done the Cam Sensor Recall?
When was the last oil change? What type of oil?
Have you changed the fuel filter recently?
Just coming back from a trip, is it possible that you got some bad fuel?
Where was the last place you got fuel?
Have you cleaned the FPR screen?
How much fuel is in the tank?

Open the valve on the back of the fuel bowl and turn the key on, don't start it. See if you have a good solid stream coming out of the drain. If you can, put a piece of clear tubing on the drain line and make a loop with it then on to your catch container that way you can look for aeration of the fuel. Like CampSpringsJohn said, what does the smoke smell like?
