A friend has this truck and its blowing out white smoke from the exhaust as
it says above and he was wondering what that could be? It sounds like water
to me but he says it should be black. So I thought I would ask to see what
you guys think. I don't know if he is having any other problems with it like
loss of power but I am texting him now to get an answer.

General rule:
black = excess fuel
blue = oil
white = coolant

White smoke from a diesel can also indicate low engine temperature.....the
smell is indicator. If it smells like unburned diesel it's likely due to
this. White smoke due to steam from coolant in combustion chamber has a
distinctive glycol/exhaust aroma.

Fair enough, but coolant would not cause balck as suggested.
