Starting to think you may have a cracked nozzle

Cracked injector nozzle. Check the oil and see if it smells like diesel

It definitely sounds like a injector is dumping to much fuel into the cylinder/s. I would stop driving it cause of this is the case all the excess fuel can wash the cylinders out. You are going to have to pull the injectors and look for a cracked nozzle. If you don't see one then you will have to get them tested. Email/call Jim at Rosewood diesel and talk to him about your possible injector issue and he will point you in the right direction.

If it's a cracked nozzle will unplugging each injector one at a time still help me find the problem?

Yes I'll do that tomorrow. I can explain it well. Literally the whole time it's idling park drive neutral whatever it's very thin white smoke. When I'm taking off it pours white smoke.I mean a lot. Like a crop duster. And when I'm on the interstate after I'm up to speed just cruising it almost stops.
