White smoke is almost always a sign of a coolant leak into a cylinder either directly or by aspiration through the intake.

You reading the Chrysler Diagnostic Service Manual?
lol
pressure test your cooling system with a pressure tester.
only put pressure up to whatever is on the radiator cap and let it sit for a while
report your findings after that

RE: white smoke
What's the matter, don't like my explanation? I mentioned it only because he questioned whether it was blowby, and white smoke doesn't signify that.
I realize these are the basics of engine diagnosis, but perhaps the OP does not, so I thought I'd do the helpful thing and state an opinion.
My apoligies for the overly technical sounding explanation--I'm an engineer. There's no hope for us.

well i been swamped at my shop for the past couple of days so i didnt geta chance to pressure test it..but i asked mine of my buddies that work there and he said it might be just the head gaskets setting in place..i noticed there is lease smoke more and more as i get on it..so i think he might be right..
P.S- Minnesotamopar- i liked ur explanation.. ..learned something new from it..
