If it only occurs when the engine is cold or the weather is extremely cold, be suspicious of water vapor... it's a natural occurance during the combustion process. If the white vapor goes away when the engine warms up, no problem. If the smoke is blue-ish, it's probably engine oil. Check to see if you're getting fuel into the oil. That can cause the oil to thin and get past the rings, then the motor oil doesn't burn as cleanly and can leave the blue/grey smoke. That can be caused by dirty injectors that do not vaporize the fuel but sends it out in a stream, then the liquid fuel seeps past the rings to mix with the oil.
does cooling system hold pressure?
The international 7.3 powerstroke in your Ford uses 8 Gallons of coolant.

Prestone extended life diesel antifreeze(red) sold at tractor supply.4 jugs antifreeze + 4 jugs distilled water(sold at the grocery store).flush the cooling system out first(get all the old coolant out first)
This is not advisable if you are not an experienced mechanic as it has to be timed with the need for specialist tools if the timing goes out.
how do you bleed a diesel peugeot cooling system
Cracked injector cups is the main cause of diesel in the cooling system. There is a special tool to remove them with out taking the head off.
jacket cooling system is a that the part of the engine were
A 2.8l turbo diesel Mitsubishi Pajero uses a direct injection fuel supply system. It uses diesel and has a fuel tank capacity of 92 liters.

for diesel: break power=34% cooling system=30% exhaust=26% surrounding=10% for diesel: break power=34% cooling system=30% exhaust=26% surrounding=10%
more time then not a leaking head gasket or a sleeve
does cooling system hold pressure?
the Mitsubishi L 300's engine is 2.5 Diesel and the Hyundai Porter's engine is 2.6 diesel but and the Hyundai is a sub company of Mitsubishi so maybe the Porter's engine made by Mitsubishi the Mitsubishi L 300's engine is 2.5 Diesel and the Hyundai Porter's engine is 2.6 diesel and the Hyundai is a sub company of Mitsubishi so maybe the Porter's engine made by Mitsubishi
Burst diaphram in the fuel lift pump. [ontop of diesel filter]
diesel has a lower boiling point than antifreeze. as the engine heats up the diesel will vapourize and cause high pressure in your system. you will also has much worse temperature control in your engine.
That's not the question you need to ask yourself. There's not supposed to be any oil in your cooling system, so you need to take your truck to a diesel service and get it fixed.
