Sounds like you are losing rings. How many miles? Does the smoke clear up with throttle?

Without the "turn it off and on" thing, I'd assume the IP's going; at the very least you can advance it a bit and see if it helps.

I feel like it's a combo of glow plugs and injectors.

Investigate your area, there should be a quality diesel shop that farmers, construction companies, etc. use. This type of shop has experience with older stuff and can get you quality parts. Alternatively, you can go to idiperformance.com, a lot of people swear by his stuff.

Justin had a set reverse-engineered and new ones made, and they seem to work nicely. I'd buy from him, because I've had plenty of issues with used sets... thought I was getting a deal, and 10K later I've got issues.

the chugging has me thinking bad cam or valves, you can get a compression tester that fits in the glow plug hole. run engine for a trip into town then remove one glow plug at a time and test compression, remove the FSS wire so engine will not start...this will tell you the condition of the engine....if it sounds like its back fireing into the intake it could be burnt or bent valves from broken off tips of gp's. hope you figure it out..
