Living in Michigan, I see a lot of white smoke on startups and have since it was new. I found the white smoke was dependent on 2 things. Outside temp was one and the brand of fuel was the other. Using BP (Amoco) there was no smoke ever. Cetane is very high because of the fuel additives and blend. Filling with blended #2/#1 diesel will smoke like there is no tomorrow. Cetane improver does help a bit.
Adding the 2 stroke oil lowered the cetane level a bit and helped to cause the smoke. I would use the fuel that you taken out of your truck this spring when it warms up. There is nothing that will hurt your engine by using it. I've been using it for almost 2 years with no problems at all.
Keep in mind that one of your biggest critics here has the name, "newtodieseling" and that should be enough of a clue for you.
