It blows white smoke out the tail pipe when i start it

SOURCE: car is hard to start, keeps stalling, white smoke coming out of tail pipe

It sounds to me like you have a head gasket leaking. See if you can get a gauge and check each cylinder. Are you using alot of anti freeze?

SOURCE: Upon starting avalanche blue, white smoke comes

Take that truck into the dealer and have them repair it under the powertrain warranty. 2007 offered a 5 year/100,000 mile warranty.

The smoke on startup is the result of oil getting past the valves.
