White smoke??

I had a wierd experience this morning. Yesterday afternoon I picked up my truck (05 F250 6.0) from the shop. It had an EGR valve replaced. I noticed that the truck just didn't feel 100%. It felt a little sluggish. Between the shop and this morning, I put maybe 30 miles on it. When I leave to go to work this morning, about 5 minutes into my drive, the truck starts POURING out white smoke from the exhaust. No loss of power, doesn't feel different. It smoked for about 5 minutes and then stopped. Now my truck feels 100%. It gained it's power back. Is that normal? Any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like a leaking EGR cooler. See if it happens again after it sits for several hours. White smoke is either raw diesel fuel or engine coolant.

It sat for about 3 hours, and still has not produced the white smoke again. Hmmm.....
