Running rough and white smoke

Headed home from a trip and the truck started having a miss, almost similar to when you run out of fuel. Also is blowing white smoke when under a load instead of black. Bad injector? Its not a ton if white smoke but enough to see

Might be injector. Exhaust dont smell sweet like coolant? Scan for codes to see wich cyl is the problem. Do a cylinder contribution test, and comp test.if all is good prepare for the worst case senario.

A few years back we had an early 99 that started to throw white smoke changed injectors did not help, did a compression test cyl #5 zero psi, removes the head to find out the piston was cracked in half. Hopefully this is not your case.

Check coolant level and check the oil to see if anything is out of place
