Hard Start and Stalling

My truck is hard starting in the morning and idles rough with white smoke and after warming up while driving and coming up to a stop it stalls out and also when you are parked when you put the truck in gear while cutting the wheel hard it will stall but it's intermittent.
Sometimes the truck will not stall at all but I do notice irregular idling at times.

No codes show up on the truck.
Recent work done:
4 glow plugs on the left side
Wire harness at steering column was checked no chafed wires.
The fuel pump regulator was updated after the problem started along with all new fuel filters.
New alternator was installed and new batteries were installed.

Thank you for any help!
