New Injectors, questionable start.

So other than the start the truck runs great, and this could be normal, I don't know.
One of my injectors was jammed and causing a misfire occasionally, and I had no record of maintenance so I pulled them all and installed remanufactored ones.

Once the engine is warmed up the truck runs like it has a new motor in it, no funny noises, vibrations nothing. But the start up is brutal, this video isn't of a morning start, the exhaust is blue for the first 2 minutes, filling up the entire street I park on if the wind is right, after about 5 min of idling, it goes clear and everything is normal, no blue unless I hit 3k rpm.

This was an after work start that gives you an example of the noises and vibrations it suffers from. Almost sounds like a stumble.

Any suggestions, or info would be appreciated.

My timing is screwed up?

I 'think' my uncles friend either has one or has done timings by ear over the years, one of those 30+ year mechanics.

well when she first fired off there,she had lots of lope.that sounds as if fuel drained back and she's priming after a few secs and smooths out.
you took the vid from behind with what sounds like a straight pipe,so it's hard to hear the diesel engines rattle over that.
you parked in the shade,so it's very hard to see smoke,and it's color too.
