Oil in the coolant maybe oil cooler seeping? Havnt really heard of any issues on these though. Maybe a head gasket just starting to seep somewhere though. Maybe a head issue? Is there coolant in the oil as well? Positive that it is coolant and not fuel?
White smoke, smells like coolant

So it does not use any coolant but has a sweet smell 
Oil in coolant....the oil pressure is greater than coolant pressure so the oil will go into the coolant. When the oil cooler was replaced, was the cooling system flushed or did they just refill it?
Might also have a cracked timing cover if the wrong oil cooler gaskets were used.
Pretty hard to blow a 7.3 H on a stock truck unless something stupid was done ie: overheat, tuning off, etc, etc

For the time I've spent looking at it, it's used maybe a 1/2 quart, it's such a small amount i can barely notice it. The shop receipts say flushed but who knows if they really did.So it does not use any coolant but has a sweet smell

It's a stock truck and off all other things it's got no hitch.
