white smoke means coolant is gettting into the combustion chamber from acracked head or a bad head gasket. The silicone in the coolant will poison the oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter. Might be cheaper to get another vehicle.

Head gasket or cracked heads. The white smoke is anti-freeze and steam burning as it enters the combustion chamber. Do a compression check to confirm a blown head gasket. Good luck !

Sounds like blown head gaskets or a cracked head. Check the oil, if it looks like coffee with cream in it or has any 'milky' look to it, this further validates that diagnosis. Also start the engine with the radiator cap off. MAKE SURE RADIATOR IS COOL BEFORE REMOVING CAP. If you see a large amount of bubbles in the radiator or oil in the coolant, another sign of blown gaskets or cracked head.
