White smoke is unburned fuel...have you checked your GPR and glowplugs? What kind of overnight low temps are you getting where you are?

When the truck is cold and you start it - Does the exhaust make a hissing sound? The lack of power sounds like the EPBV is operating and you would hear that hissing sound. The temperatures are not that cold where you are that it would be the GPR or glowplugs...at least I wouldn't think so anyways.

No thats doesn't close off I've heard that before, idle speed comes up sounds like a jet. This just stays at a steady idle. do you think EPBV is sticking? I don't hear it when I start it though.
