If you're saying those lights go on while you're holding the key in the START position, that's the bulb check. It's documented in the owner's manual.

If, by "glow 4 or 5 times", you mean you're cycling the key off and on that many times, when the WTS light turns off, then you're wasting your time and wearing out your GP relay. The GPs run long after the WTS turns off. If you want to extend GP run time before starting, just leave the key in the RUN position for an extra 10-20 seconds.

How have you determined that the ICP and MAP sensors are "broken"? Do you have a way of reading live data from them?

So there is wiring in the engine compartment that is smoking? That is BAD! You need to be more specific about which wires.

What is "OSD"?

I had a Diagnostics Tool from a Friend and see the Ford Codes 124/125 and at Work i test it with our Bosch Tester and become the same Codes on live testing the complete Truck but no way for live testing any sensors in a diagram.
And the ICP is full of Diesel

The ICP probably has oil instead of diesel in it. You will need to get that replaced. When you turn the ignition on watch the voltmeter. It will be low when the glow plugs are on. Once the needle jumps up it signifies that the glow plug relay has cycled off. Then try to start the truck

What i not understand is i have only hard starts the Truck stands a long time 4-5 hours he crank at start up and stand one night hard to start.

My oil level is at half and the oil pressaure came last start up after 4 - 5 seconds after start up.

I think i have a sensor problem because he becomes fuel (white smoke) but is it only the icp?

Ok last time i start the Truck:

Glow...wait 10 or 15 seconds...start...nothing...i disconnect the icp...glow...wait 10 seconds...start...run after 2 or 3 starter turns...

I'm confused...

should I make a video from the start up?

Welcome to FTE!

Sounds like you may have some bad glow plugs and/or glow plug relay. Next time you try to start the truck, turn the key on and wait at least one minute before you try to start it, and see if it starts any better.
