Hard start in cold, but starts fine rest of day.

Check the clearance on the poppet valve! This is the primary weak point in this version of the HEUI!
Don't worry that shimming will make your cores worthless - most rebuilders will only shim your cores, maybe replace a few o-rings and springs, and ship them back to you!
Rebuilt injectors are a scam - if you need more than a shim of the poppet get NEW OEM INJECTORS!

Rosewood Diesel Shop does not scam people and I have heard many good things on the forums about their great service

Do they machine poppet valve seats or replace the main body and/or poppet valve to get OEM clearance as needed?
Not trying to diss anyone, but the issue of poppet valve wear is well documented, and is rarely addressed by rebuilders in a manner that surpasses what you can do yourself for a few bucks and an afternoon without removing the injector.

I would check the injector armature clearance to see if in spec, when less than .001 it will be hard starting in cold weather
you can shim them but they could break internally making your cores worthless for a rebuild
94-03 7.3 POWERSTROKE injector tune up shim KIT w/ special Tools to install

We did do the Shim Kit and it fixed the issue, she starts like a brand new truck.
I cant say thank you enough...
What an awesome Forum this is!!!

But, be aware that this is a temporary fix - NEW (not rebuilt) injectors are in your (and my) future.
Nature of the beast!
