how does the fluid look in the car? do you have any shifting or engine problems, rough idle before the car over heats?
Great questions!

No unfortunately, I don't have a scan gauge.

The coolant does not have a color it's evaporating and creating steam out the exhaust pipe hence the white smoke. So if I drive the truck it leaves a heavy trail of white smoke.

A water pump timing belt was done at 204K miles. Radiator was at 189K

Yes it was idling rough before the white smoke started but no shifting problems.

A local mechanic said it could be a head gasket but didn't want to take on the project.
