so baisically if i retorque the injector bolts and it brings the smoke down a bit i would then need to get all the o rings changed out to make sure its stops all smoke ... in doing so will i have to do all that is needed in changing the injectors such as draining the oil and diesel and turning the engine with a breaker?

well if i find that they are not lose then yeah i will leave the valve covers off and see if cant get a freind of mine to help out ... i had him change two of my injectors back about 3 years ago when he was still in school (diesel mechanic school) so he should still remember some things as for the orings and seals you guys have a clue as to what the part numbers are just in case or a place with cheaper price then the dealer?

I know where Winter Haven is. Its down there by Cypress Gardens and all that stuff. Used to race remote control cars in Lake Alfred. There should be some late night dealers maybe like Jarrett or the other one down that way. But like Tenn said above you just need to spend some time and not money on it right now. Good luck and let us know what you find.

EDIT: I cannot find the link on smoke diagnosis. If/when I do it will be posted anew.

Did the smoking change at all after the turbo rebuild? Anyone else wonder about the sound on that clip? No doubt the turbo had an oil leak, but was there any change? I don't know what happened to my comprehensive smoke diagnosis link but I cannot find it, What I was also alluding to was the possibility of a faulty injector install.
All of this assumes a good fuel/oil filter, fresh oil, good fuel pressure, and good fuel. That odo is also a good diagnostic tool for fuel consumption since poor fuel economy will tell you when something is headed south.

well when it orginally started acting up i would say it had a good amount but really only when u would roll to a stop it would start building up but now as u guys can see there it kinda sticks with the truck ... as for the fuel filter i just changed that today ... as for the fuel it self well i dont honestly think that could be it i usely fill up in the same places i have for a long time and well im not saying its the cure for water in the fuel but i always ad the diesel kleen (grey bottle). oil filter and oil is not to old i would say month and half but not that many miles on the recent change... and the injectors well those were changed i would say about 3years back maybe a lil longer ...and finally for fuel economy i havent had a chance to actual run it any real good distance just from my house to town because like i had said as soon as i noticed it i basically stopped running the truck in fear of damaging something important...
