I ran out of gas recently and from then my truck has run like a piece of crap. I have white smoke pouring out of the exsuast pipe and I have no take off power and the truck sputters. Can you tell me what is wrong with my truck

Sounds like when it ran out you sucked up all the water and sediments from the bottom of the tank and they are now in the fuel lines, filter, pump and fuel rail.

Flush the system out replace fuel pumpsock and fuel filter. Run better? If not may be time for a new fuel pump.
