i know have have a bad glow plug, was fdo at advanced so will get it tomorrow.

in this cold weather the ol truck hasent liked starting.

i noticed the past couple days, white smoke when she starts. then goes away

could this be the glow plug?

the fuel filter cap i believe ( Black cap with a square on top? ) HAS FUEL in it....
not sure if maybe the caps broken, but going to be replacing it too.

any idea on this glow plug/ white smoke? that is my main priority.

Again- Will white smoke be caused from a bad glow plug?

 

You pulled a code for a bad glow plug?

Josh

 

yea a couple weeks ago i did, but was working and was not able to do anything about it.

 

Do you remember the code?

Josh

 

no not off hand, had it done at a shop because i have no scan tool

but it said glow plug bad or so

 

A bad #8 GP might be indicating something else is wrong versus one of the others like a failed FICM

Instead of starting a new thread.....

I have this same issue. Pulled a code for bad #2 glow plug cir...... it has been between 10-18* here the last few days and starting it puts out some white smoke...but then goes away after a bit and don't see it again until it is dead cold again.

See guzzo's other thread, he rolled his truck and is unlikely to be working on glow plugs or anything else. He is ok but beat up bad.

 

I'm not asking about him... If you re-read my post.. I am asking about myself... I just didn't want to start a new thread for a similar question
