injector issues?

ive been having an issue where when i go to start my truck up in the morning it smokes a little but not enough to cloud out the street but if it sits for like an hour and a half to 2 hours it starts really rough and smokes its *** off with a mixture of white and black smoke. if it sits all day while im at work it starts right up and idles fine with a little white smoke. the short sit time is bad though. im leaning towards injectors going bad would be my guess, i want to go bigger so that's why i probably have that stuck in my head though as an excuse to get them haha they are stock with 253k miles on them. have replaced injector o-rings, glow plugs, gpr 109 and both valve cover gaskets within the last few months, no pins look to be burnt on the gaskets. ive had the little bit of white smoke for a while the rough start and cloud has showed itself recently though. if i key it off and start it right back up just a little puff of black comes out hour and a Half later its a different story.

opinions?
