Try this. It's what my truck sounds like upon a cold engine startup and then I lug the engine down in 2nd gear.

Link didn't work Dan. I am going to try to log my IPR and ICP in the am but it is not easy as the connection wants the ignition to on or run and it takes a few to hook up and get to a log sreen. At that point I will have to jump the relay again or just go with it. No helper here as wife will be gone and boy will be in school.

Another contributing issue, is this summer I switched to 5-40 synthetic, So if there was an oil problem, it will more then likely be less of an issue, but if it happens, and I can duplicate it, I will.

Hey Tenn, I on one hand do not think the oil is causing your romps. I started my truck ths morning , 27 degrees out side , with: Delo 15-40 oil, original IPR, 179,000 miles, Dp-tuner in 20 tow setting and had no romps. (Also, not plugged in , and had not run in three days.)
You are describing serious romps that my truck did not exhibit on a cold engine below 32 degrees with half as many miles that you have on your truck. Just wanted to give some sort of base line.
I wish I had more experience with these oil systems to help you out, so you can get her runnin right again.

Mine has never romped until this morning. From my recent experience I have to say it is oil related. I was asking on other threads what romp is and such, so I have been paying attention lately. We have had temps down close to zero the last couple of weeks and I had no romp. Today, however, with temps in around 6 the thing romped three times. The only thing that changed is I had the oil changed yesterday. I was running service pro 15w40, but due to the lack of a current heated shop I had local shop change it and they used rotella 15w40. I replaced the gpr last spring along with new batteries, so I know that is not the issue (unless it is the glowplugs themselve) but it is firing off, it just romps.
