Blowby, A constant push of smoke coming from the dipstick tube. Looks like a fog machine out of the dipstick tube. flipped the oil cap, doesn't blow it off, just kinda vibrates there with the motor.
This is great news. Now ignore the smoke as it has nothing to do with your issues. Let us know what you find on the cold CCT once you get the resistor wired in. You might as well write down the rotational velocity numbers too.
The smoke rolling up out of the dipstick tube does concern me quite a bit though.
Start a poll. You'll be surprised at how many 7.3's have smoke. As long as you don't have any pressure from combustion, you're fine. Mine smokes. It has for at least the last 100,000 miles. I can't really remember when the smoke started. I can tell you the amount of smoke, and the odor of the smoke changes with different types of oils. The ones I've used checked out fine with Blackstone, but I can say Valvoline Premium Blue smokes more than most, and Mobil Delvac stinks pretty bad after about 4,000 miles.
Ignore the smoke and see what the scanner tells you.
0 F = 250K
32 F = 98K
50 F = 59K
----------
160 F = 5.32K
170 F = 4.48K
180 F = 3.75K
190 F = 3.17K
Any radio shack cheap 1/2 watt would work.
Ok, help me out here.
Does this mean you put in a 4.48k resistor if you want the sensor to put out a signal that it's seeing 170*?
And you'd use a 98k resisitor if you want it to put out a signal for 32*?
Do you know which wire this would go in (there are 2)?

You would put the resistor across both wires with the sensor unplugged. You can also unplug the sensor and measure the sensor resistance if you know the oil/water temp to see if it is functioning properly. I have done the latter.
Here is a complete listing for future reference ... Sorry, can't remember where I got it from.
oh, your taking the sensor out completly and fooling it cause the sensor works on resistance.
Yea, just unplug the sensor then and shove the Resistor in the end of the plug.

Correct, the sensor is just a thermistor (variable resistor) sensitive to temperature. Don't know how well the truck will start cold if the PCM thinks oil is hot though.

Depending on how long it takes to smooth out.
lets say, it has to idle for 10 mins to smooth out.
start it and let the oil warm slightly, then shut off and plug in the resistor and start again.
I don't think the sensor is really doing anything but letting the truck know whats going on.
Everything on motor's is usually controlled by coolant temps.

Well hereis how stands now. Not plugged In. 60 degree ambient temp. Glow plugs are working fine, truck will not start. Cranks and barely hits every 3rd od 4th rotation. Whitish grey smoke from the tailpipe. But refuses to start. All the glow plugs ohm out at the vc harness the glow plug relay is working fine.
Usually I can ug the truck in for a few hrs it will start then be rough till it get all the way warm
Sorry for the typos in the first post, (iphone). I finally got it started after cranking the weeeeee out of it, It finally hit and fired up to a rough chug. I put the resistor in the EOT plug, tool showed it to be 185. Ran the CCT truck died. Restarted and tried again, Truck died, and a code for the EOT Sensor flagged.
I plugged the EOT back in, Started the truck warmed it up to get the EOT past 160, truck started running a little better. Ran the CCT truck died for a split second, scan tool again popped up and EOT code.
