white smoke!! HELP!!
I have a 01 F350 i just had some of the injectors replaced. Now i have white smoke every time i start it. I think that it maybe my gp relay that is out and i would like to test it before i get a new one. i have power when i drive it but the white smoke only goes away when the motor is hot had the heads tested the are OK not losing oil or coolant. the hot air relay wont get power i read that it only kicks in when gp relay has turned off.

It can be tested easy enough. I don't have the details someone should chim in. Did you change the glow plugs while you were in there? If injectors are bad glow plugs are cheap. Ohm them out also. How cold is it there?

Grey square as in Glow Plug Control Module?

If so I think you will need a diagnostic tool to test fully.

Where did you get the injectors? Some rebuilds just don't work as well as others and can cause problems like this.
If you've got a GPCM, then if you have any glow plug issue the CEL will come on and trip a code that can be read by any code reader.
