I been driving my brothers 99 truck for work.  Started it up today and let it run for just a minute while I got situated in the truck. Then it just cut off like it ran out of fuel. White smoke from the tail pipe. I tried to start it backup. White smoke no start. Now no smoke and no start at all where should I start?

Codes?

None! 

Sudden white smoke to me would seem like a fuel timing issue ie. seized timing piston in the pump. But that should have thrown a 216 code I would think, 

I thought I would have some kinda code. Or heads up about something going wrong. But nothing it just shut down. No lights nothing really weird.  Now no white smoke and still no start.

With no code you're going to have to do some diagnostics.  This will help determine if it's the VP44 or not.

Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Fixed it! Relay for the retrofitted fuel pump in tank was bad. Whoooo hooo
