I would check your radiator to make sure its not leaking. I would also check the truck really well for leaking (underneath..etc) And double what Rhkcommander said on does it smell sweet like coolant.

If it's cold you'll get white smoke from overfueling until it warms up. By the look of the body I'd say you're far enough north to be in colder temps, take it for a run and try again.
If you're new to diesels, you may also want to clean the CDR, it might be sucking more oil through than it should adding to the issue.

lots of white smoke at start up,probably requires some extra cranking when cold,strong smell of running rich.
i also hear her running rough.she's missing pretty bad.economy probably isn't that good,nor performance.
all points to injectors that should have been changed long ago.
high miles? the couple injectors you swapped,i bet they were stock original G codes dated to match the truck.

caution;
replacing worn injectors for fresh ones,without changing the ip,is said to often due in the tired ip shortly after.this is why its ideal to swap them both at the same time,approx every 100k.sooner with off road working hours.
