Help!!

When I start my truck it runs fine. After it warms up it starts to smoke (white smoke) heavily. The truck runs fine besides the smoke. What could it be? I replaced the MAP sensor and the TPS sensor because that's what the guy at Autozone suspected. Any suggestions???

Thanks!

white smoke sounds like water, Do you have something cracked, head gasket, worse yet, head. Did it over heat recently or sense it started blowing the white smoke. Do you smell antifreeze

I don't think so I will look it over some more. I don't smell anitfreeze though and it didn't overheat when the problem started.

Thanks! Um okay....it originally started driving on the highway the truck started to shake then lossed all power I would throttle and it would take a while to pick up speed. Got it towed home and started the truck It was leaking gas out of the exhaust, white smoke and shaking terribly. I replaced the MAP sensor and now it doesn't leak gas or shake, it just smokes. Hope that helps

codes?

check compression?

were you off roading or drag racing or anything else like that?

mileage?

stay out of autozone and if you can't at least do not get advice there.

No sure how to check compression. I am an idiot when it comes to these things I just don't have the money to take it anywhere right now.

I had a friend decode it and it came back with like 22 different codes

It has 158,000 miles on it

No, no offroading or drag racing just driving down the highway at about 65mph.

Thanks for the tip on autozone and for all the help!
