I just bought my 1st PSD that I have wanted for a long time. I bought it with 47000 mi on it. I have a couple of questions for some seasoned owners. I see there is some controversy on the reliability of this motor. So far so good (knock on wood) I want to know if everyones stock 6.0 smokes when full throttle is applied? My does it like it has a chip in it and I have looked for one and did not find it. Also do all motors take a few turnovers to start? Sometimes I have to hold the key and let it turn over for 3 or 4 seconds before it starts. I wait for the glow plug light to go off which only takes about a second. I appreciate your responses.

 

no my truck doesnt smoke at all either stock or with my edge on 3. And sometimes it takes a few secs but for the most part it starts around 1.

 

Mine leaves a cloud of smoke at WOT no other time though

 

Mine will smoke with the throtle WFO. It does it stock or with the Predator set on 65HP.

 

Mine smokes only when I floor it. It also takes a few seconds to start. You will also fine that the glow plug light will take longer to go out the colder it gets.

 

Could have been programed, w/o the programmer coming with the truck. Sometimes programmers / fuel boxes will make lots of smoke.

Or...could be EGR valve stuck in open position but, that would cause drive-ability issues you would have probably noticed right off the bat.
