The white steam that comes out of the exhaust pipe when the truck is cold smells like gas. Is that the fuel injectors? thanks,

Could be running rich:

1.Excessive fuel pressure can be cause by restricted fuel return line
2.Defective Oxygen Sensors.
3.Leaking injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
4.Coolant temperature sensor out of calibration.
5.Restricted air intake system.
