Diesel smoaks
Please a little advice. I'm new with diesels. I have a 2008 f350 king ranch. Every now and then driving around town stop and go my trucks puts out a smoak cloud of white smoak. Is this normal to have happen. Or is there a problem I'm not a ware of. The truck seems to run great.

Diesels can put out white smoke due to over-fueling or in some cases oil as well. So the OP needs to distinguish if it's smoke or steam. Also, being a 6.4 (2008 truck), you should post in that forum so that one of the veteran owners there can help you diagnose your issue.

My guess is you are going into regen.
If this is a city driving truck that is a real possibility.
white smoke can also be coolant, either thru headgaskets (very unlikely) or the EGR coolers.
How does the fluid levels look? What about the tail pipes? Clean or wet? If wet what does the pipes smell like?

Regen, especially if you hear exhaust expansion and contraction noises.
