Ifust changed my radiator and now Im getting clouds of white smoke out of exaust didnt do that before?
The reason I changed the radiator it was leaking out the drivers side where the fins meet the side. I can see some steam in the throttle body when i turn the truck off and hear a little hissing sound inside when i open the throttle. after a several minutes everything stops no smoke and engine runs fine.

Hello,

That is the classic sign of a blown head gasket.

What was the reason for changing the radiator?
