White smoke and loss of power

My truck has been blowing white smoke and it happens out of the blue. I cant pin-point a certain time it happens, it just happens and I took it to the dealer and they said nothing is wrong with it. I get it back and it does it to me not long after picking it up. I have 34K miles on it, I have changed the fuel filters and done the newest flash on it. When it happens, it blows a lot of white smoke and it hesistates like a gas motor would be starving for fuel. I was at a dealer in Louisiana a couple days ago and there was an identical truck in the shop like mine and they had the cab off... which means they were pulling the motor. I talked to the mechanic working on it and he said the truck had a bent rod and it started off by blowing white smoke. Has anyone else ever seen this? He also said something about an EGR valve going bad causing this mysterious white smoke and loss of power. Can anyone tell me if this is true or not. I know this shop has repaired two 6.4 motors for bent rods as I saw the block of the first one sitting on the pallet ready to ship.
