please confirm
Ok now that all the vc plugs have been changed outside the gasket, vc gaskets changed, uvcw pigtails changed/checked (some were replace last fall), and I still have white smoke. It is not antifreeze I smelled it, it is diesel fuel. I have checked the oil and I do not appear to be losing any Do I have one or more injectors leaking? That is my only guess at this point.

Is the smoke still there once the engine is warmed up? if so, a leaky in jector is possible, but it is also possible that you have one cylinder low on compression
. I just replaced a motor for a guy that had one cylinder that had 75psi of compression, and it blew a constant haze of white smoke.
I don't know if the bad cylinder thing is possible in your truck, I just thought I would throw it out there. I sincerely hope that is not the problem.

At idle when the motor is warm, does the motor shake at all?
The truck that I replaced the motor in still ran half way decent....
See if the motor is shaking, that will help to know what is going on. and hopefully someone knowledgeable about leaky injectors will chime in!
