    White smoke

    My 2004 F250 blows white smoke when I start it in the morning. Not when I first start it, but about five minutes after when it is getting warmed up. When it is warm then it runs strong and no white smoke. It is using some coolant. Had head gaskets and fan clutch replaced under warranty last March at Sunrise. Any thoughts. I was thinking maybe Egr cooler, but I hope not cuz I would rather not spend a ton of money on my truck right now. It is out of warranty I believe. Has only 65000 miles, but it is 6 years old.

    Pull the EGR valve out and have a look. If it or the inside of the intake are wet the EGR cooler is shot.
