Well I changed the glow plugs out. The old ones all worked fine when I hooked them up to my battery charger. On the old ones only about one inch would light up compared to more on the new mtorcraft ones. Guess I will see in the morning. If you have any more ideas, please lay them out there. If the intake heater didn't work, would that cause the problem?

The truck never did this before, when started cold? This just started happening?
Another question? Does the smoking when first started only happens when it started cold? If the truck is plugged in does it still smoke? Also is it alot of smoke, or just a haze?

testing glow plugs
I pulled glow plugs on my '94 a few years ago with 300k miles on it (i do not know if they were originals). I did the "test light" test and all eight made the light, light up bright.
I tested each glow plug with a 12 volt jump box and infrared thermometer 4 or 5 would get to about 200* and the others turned pink just at the tip, a new one will turn red for about on inch. I think the best way to test is to take a 100 amp amp meter and hold it rite on to of the glow plug relay, connecting the relay studs to the studs on the amp meter and then you will see how many amps the glow plus pull. Use the meter on a new glow plug so you know how many amps 1 plug pulls

Well I just fired her up at 12 below. No problellm starting, but Idon't imagine the neighbors appreciated the diesel cloud. I let her run a couple minutes then shut her off and plugged her in tosee what happens in while. And the old plugs would light for about an inch als.l

I haven't yet tried tuning anything with the air intake heater but I will see if I can't do something with it and get it to turn on once the glow plugs turn off....usually, it's commanded after a couple minutes of idling but if it can be commanded sooner and during warm up, I'll let you know and maybe you can get Bill to incorporate that into your tunes.
But then again, maybe Bill will read this and know the answer already.
