Default Alright...

Driving it home tonight ~50 Miles away.

I did drive it tonight, and was checking doing all the things u guys said to do. I checked....

Oil = Perfect
AntiFreeze = Perfect
Hoses = Fine

Looked inside the plenum and got a good video of the inside, but from what i could tell it doesnt seem to bad... I will upload the video from my phone once I get home.

Also when i start it up it smokes, and it continues to smoke even after the truck warms up, like i said before it is just a mild, exactly as if it were winter outside. Anyhow i drove it around town for about 20 minutes doggin it eveynow and agian to get the engine to get a little warmer, its about 60 outside. it never over heats anyways, always been same.

So.... Im guessing it is a cracked head? Unless you think it might be something else? I will do a pressure test tomorrow on my radiator as i will be in town to do it.

Uploading video in about 2 hours.
