So I went to start the truck today, got the batterys tested and jumped yesterday and it turned over fine today. but would not fire.. when cranking ALOT of white smoke was coming out of my stack with no fireing just cranking. so i popped the hood, drained the fuel bowl. cycles the key to fill it back up cranked it and she started right up. with minimal smoke. any idea what was causing all the white smoke it almost looked likesteam. also i dont know why it fired right up with fresh fuel in the bowl?

it may have had nothing to do with the fuel in the bowl. sounds like your glow plugs or relay i would test them first.

Glow plug relay. I changed mine with stancer and so far great. Mine was doing the same thing. only had trouble one time since i replaced it. but idk what it's deal was then... still working on it.
