Troubleshooting after EGR delete

I have an (early) 2004 F250 6.0. I bought it with 70,000 miles and deleted the EGR and replaced the oil cooler right away after buying. I also put a 5 inch exhaust on it as well. Ever since I did the delete and all the work sometimes the truck will rough idle and blow white smoke. It only seems to happen if I drive to somewhere then start the truck up to go somewhere else after stopping. Never seems to happen during start up. I noticed I lost some coolant today and am concerned it’s head gaskets. I am just wondering if there would be anything else it could be. Thank you.

Those codes are egr delete related. Not the problem. You might look in to checking the pressure in your degas bottle. I think there are write ups in the tech file on how to correctly do it.
Do you have white puke on your degas bottle.
