Default Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7

Ok, here is a mind bender.

I got into truck and drove it about 6 miles on an errand. It ran with no issues at all. After my errand, I went to start it and bumped (My fingers slipped off the ignition key) the ignition. I restarted the truck and it began to run really rough. I tried to move it across the parking lot and it was blowing white(Maybe grey) smoke out of the tailpipe.

Now here is the kicker,

NO check engine lights
NO Codes
No Oil in the radiator
No Antifreeze in the oil

I have taken really good care of this truck and can honestly state that this has happened Just as I stated. Turned it off, turned it on and ran really rough.

Any ideas?

Welcome to DF. I can move you to the correct section if you tell me your model year.

I'd start by re-seating all the engine side connections.
Pull and read your plugs.
A compression and or leak down test may be in order.
