should I be worried?
List of work done.
new glow plugs
gpr
icp
ipr
uvch
vc gaskets
injector o-rings
switch to schaeffer 7000
fuel filter
cleaned and greased idm contacts
Only thing left that I can think of is to check fuel pressure.(waiting for fitting)
After all this work the truck still romps bad with lots of smoke.(all colors) I figure with the new parts and a full 120 sec glow plug cycle she should fire off like a champ. My icp also looks normal at idle and wot.
I wouldnt think I have bad injectors with just under 96k mi.
There is also a bad vibration. Well not so much a vibration but a violent hmmmm. I lost the coast clutch a couple of months ago so I kinda attribute the hum to that?
Also seems like my mpg has dropped on my last tank.
Praying its nothing internal!!!

Judging by Tuglys last post you might want to check your "user cp" I'm betting he's filled you in on what your problem may be already with a mile long explanation that breaks it down so anyone can understand it.... I love getting those pms from Tugly always informational... Grab a beer and start reading...

So nobody gonna suggest it?
Try unplugging each of the connections to your tranny and plug them back in a couple times(kind of like a cleaning action).
Lets see if i remember here...
The transmission speed sensor can cause romps when the connections get dirty enough.
Front drivers side area of the trans... kind of up top.
