Cool No Start....?
OK I recently bought a truck 95 f-350 crew cab for a really good deal, only thing is it does not start , it will turn over and alomost fire. It had water in the oil and oil in the water turned out to be that someone forgot to put an O ring back on the oil cooler. I fixed that put in new glow plugs changed the valve cover gaskets with the wiring and the pig tails that go into them. I still have the same problem will not start. I have white smoke comming out the tail pipe. Glow plug soleinoid maybe ? anyone got any idea's I am out of them.

Have you drained the oil and replaced it with fresh oil? I wouldn't run it anymore until that's done. If the oil is emulsified, it has very low viscosity and it can do a lot of damage to a motor.

If you are not losing coolant......Drive it till all the steam stops. It may take a while before it stops.
