...if you have a crack or fracture, its worse at startup cuz the metal is cold and as the Metal gets hot and expands the crack or fracture closes up. If its a GLow plug issue it would happen at cold starts as it tries to burn off excess unburnt fuel.

What does the White smoke smell like? How hard is the truck to start? does the wait light come on as it should for about 7-10secs? check all your glow plug connections, check all your glow plugs...or it could be coolant....and thats bad. It is NOT normal....
