Think of it this way. If you put 50K miles on her and then try to sell it, Nobody will touch that truck with 350K on it. You won't be able to give it away. And that is if you can fix the smoking issue.
So you can spend an unknown amount to fix the smoke problem. But you are pi$$ing away your purchase price. And the repair price. That whole deal is a LOSER. You will get nothing back for your money.
And you haven't tried to haul anything heavy yet. You really haven't put the trans under stress yet. My bet is the trans is weak, too.
Spend more money for a less used truck. You'll be money ahead. And a whole lot less headaches.
I cannot help you with why the thing smokes. But that makes little difference. Other than to indicate there are unknown problems that are going to cost you more money in the future. It's Gods way of telling you to run away.
