If your exhaust is shooting out white smoke after its warmed up then it usually means that its burning oil.

you were probably burning coolant and oil from a leaky head gasket, because of that 6lb pulley, ive heard of some Ls blowing head gaskets because of that before,oil does not burn white. How many miles are on your truck

No I wasn't burning coolant, it was oil that I was burning. Weather or not you say it burns blue. Mine burned white and it was oil, and I have proof it was.
