thank you for the question hope this helps

White smoke is fuel not being burned. Extreme white smoke can be caused by the combustion chambers cooling down. One cause of this could be incorrect injection pump timing. Coolant getting into the combustion chamber can cause white smoke also. Possible causes are blown head gaskets, cracked heads cavitation, etc.

passable fixes
running a fuel injector cleaner with the next fill up
have the coolant pressure tested this will rule out a blown head gasket
