Stalling when cold...

Hey Guys....

This is not my 6.9L, but a 1998 Cummins that belongs to a friend of mine...

It has aprox 70 000 miles on it, and in the morning, it starts fine, but if you hit the throttle, then let off it will stall.... It will always start fine, and will always re start fine too.... will stall right through till it worms up a bit...

I am thinking a possible glow plug issue, but would it start perfectly fine cold with bad glow plugs???

Sorry for the Dodge question, but Im a ford guy and have no desire to hunt through dodge forums...

thanks!!
Bob

No glow plugs in a cummins, hair dryer element in the intake is where they get heat from.
