Check your coolant level to see how much you are using. It's probably the EGR Cooler leaking.

well after looking into it more i took all my intake tubing off and found some shaft play in my turbo and after watching the smoke ill say its gray and not white but i did notice that my coolant level isn't super low its about 1/2 inch below the min and i have been keeping an eye on it so my game plan is to buy the ipr gen 2 egr delete and do a flush on the truck and look for a turbo rebuild kit is that a good start.

First question is whether or not you have a monitoring system? You will see that about half the people on here that have smoke issues is because of their injectors or FICM. I have been the victim of each of these culprits.

Here's an example of what two bad injectors looks like. When I was trying to diagnose the issue, everyone guaranteed me it was coolant via a bad EGR. Three years later my FICM went bad and had the same indicators. Also, you NEED a monitoring system ASAFP just so you can keep tabs on stuff like this and your oil cooler. You don't need an Edhe... a Scangauage II works nearly as well ( not as sexy as the CTS) and it costs $160 but is worth its weight in gold. My $.02

Does it only do it when the truck gets warm

It doesn't do it at all anymore. With injectors, it does it whether it's warm or cold. With the FICM, it tends to only do it when the oil is cold.
