the [white crap] is hydrogenated vapor,s.......usually condensed from outside humidity...........be sure your crank case vent system is functional........when changing your oil...add a quart of rislone......or your favorite cleaner/upper cylinder lubricant........take your truck out for a ride.......20min,s. at operating temperature [ 195*] should flush it out.......then change your oil & filter again..........this should solve your problem.........keep using an upper cylinder treatment & try to achive opperating temperature more often.....this should prevent reoccurance.

You say your going to change the oil again in two weeks, why unless you drive 3,000 miles in that time. If the oil looked white or foamy you have a big problem. Keep a close watch on the coolant level. If it doesn't drop, check the PCV, it may be bad. In cold wearher if you only drive shot trips the engine doesn't get and stay hot long enough to boil off the condensation that forms in the engine.

Usually a white frothy goo is a sign of condensation of water from blowby gases. Are you making short trips under 3 miles? Is your engine reachig full operating temperature? Check you PCV system to make sure it is drawing enough air through the crankcase to flush the blowby gases. Coolant leaks into the crankcase form a gelatinous goo with more of a yellow or brown coloration and is translucent in appearence. If you are in doubt, touch your finger to a drop of the water and touch it to the tip of your toungue. If it has a sweet taste it is antifreeze. If not it is condensate.

Oil gets milky with introduction of coolant. Have you noticed a drop in your coolant level? Check all your plugs for yellowish-green contamination. This may indicate a possble blown head gasket.
