I'm not going to be as much help to you as some of the members will be. How many miles on your truck? Does it do this when warm or just on cold starts?
I have a 01 that was smoking on cold starts and it was the Glow Plug Relay. I see you have checked it so that must not be your problem. Mine did fine unless it got below 35 degrees, then it was a smoker. I don't know what to tell you about the oil in your tubes etc. Are you running a stock air intake and filter? What part of South Ga. are you in? I'm in west central Ga. Somebody will join in that can help you, this is the right place to be !

it will just turn over and not start or it will start and shut right off it is white / blue smoke and smells like fuel and oil. i was thinking about injectors o rings but that does not explain the oil in the intack tubes does it ??

The oil in the tubes is probably from the CCV or Crank Case Vent. It vents into the intake tube just between the filter and turbo. It can get pretty nasty in there. How's your air filter. A dirty filter will cause more oil to be pulled in. A CCV mod will take care of that problem. Don't think that is related to you starting problems. Have you checked for codes?

Have you changed out the CPS?
Have you vented the crankcase elsewhere other than into the intake?

i had done the CCV mod a while back but it made a huge mess and smoked out of the CCV tube really bad. CPS is the cam sensor and i have not changed it and it had no codes the last time i checked and no check engine light either

When you engine is running, take the oil fill cap off and see how much smoke is coming from there. If it's more than just a light puffing, You may have problems. CCV shouldn't be making that much oil, no matter where it's vented.
