Smoking Exhaust at Low Idle- 22re 94 p/u 4x4
For the last couple of weeks My truck has been idling rough. Especially with the A/C on . Yesterday it died twice on me (while in idle with a/c on ), and later in the day it started smoking through the exhaust at low idle. By the time I got home the truck started over heating. I checked radiator this morning and there is plenty of coolant and it appears to be cycling through the radiator fine. I also recently replaced the radiator, hoses and water pump.
I don't know if the over-heating and the poor idle are related.
Any thoughts on where I should start looking ??

Or if you have never replaced them the timing chain guides are toast and you have worn thru the cover to the water pump.
Take a look at the oil on the dip stick and see what color it is. If it looks like chocolate milk you are definitely mixing. Also look under the oil filler cap and see if there is a chocolate milk like build up under the cap.
