I'm not one to send out an OASIS report, but what I can tell you is that it had headgaskets replaced in September, an oil cooler replaced in February, ICP sensor, glow plug relay and one fuel injector replaced in 2005, and a hydraulic pump problem back when it was new. It looks like it's been a bit troublesome.

well big red because i just bought the truck and only logged 200 miles i do not have much of a baseline,the only symptons i can verify is the excessive smoking,and hard starting[first turn of the key,it fires for 2 seconds then dies then takes another two or three 20 second turns before starting and running fine as far as i can tell except lots of smoke.I also had seperate issue with the electric fan engaging and disengaging[sounds like a siren]at hwy. speed.
And thanx for the oasis info Canada guy,Im sure it will prove helpful.
P.S Can anyone recommend a reputable service department in the Kitchener,Ontario Canada area

TravisThere is a good dealer in Woodstock. 403 Hwy at Wayne Gretzky Parkway.
Name fails me right now. They do a lot of deisel sales and have had good reports about them. If you ever get to Niagara Falls Brock Ford IMO is the best in the area for diesels. Its a long way but check it out if you are ever in the area.

It may be just that. On the passenger side rocker cover (or somewhere in that area if it has been moved to install a hydraulic pump) is a silver module, about 5 inches long with a green connector and a black connector... Sometimes the connectors come loose. Might be worth a try to see if that's all that is going on.
