White smoke galore now and back firing....

I think i foigured out now i have a bad injector. remember i said truck used to stumble/vibrate around 1800 rpm under load? now smoke is white all the time and black and whiteon the highway. i have had my edge totally unhooked for a while now. i think a injector is stuck open. tons of white smoke in town and its rough miss. should i do all 6 injectors? anything else to check?

if i do them what will i need for tools/sockets? injectors,valve cover gaskets,ful o rings, fuel tubes?etc.....
might as well do a valve set also. what do i need for tools? any special allan or torx or hex sockets?bent wrenches etc...

Not good. Don't run it or you will risk melting a piston.
