injection prob, EBPV Q
is lucas hard on my injectors? i am running 2 quarts lucas in with 12 quarts rotella. is this hard on my injectors? and, could it be causing my hard winter starts? i have to hold throttle a few seconds after start up to keep it from dying. could lucas be my culprit?
does revving up with my new ebpv brake engaged hurt my engine? it makes cool smoke!

possibly
your truck won't stay running because you're not getting oil pressure to all the injectors.
a lot of guys are going to recommend tons of different mods,
but it's would be easier and cheaper to change the oil again, and fill it with 5w40Rotella Synthetic w/o the Lucas.
If you're getting smoke, you have at least one bad glow plug. The EBPV has nothing to do with it.

Lucas has been found to cause oil aeration. Bad for HEUI trucks. I wouldn't use it any more. Do an oil change then see where your at. Did it start like this in the summer? Cold thick oil can cause a romp start no matter what unless you use a diesel rated 10W30 or a 5W40.
AS for your EBPV you need a pyrometer to know if your hurting anything. Also you could be creating enough backpressure to float a valve and casue piston contact so I would not do it until you have backpressure gauge and a pyrometer.

I got a BP gauge and I can't even try to get it near 40. That is where the real engine brakes open. So all in all I don't think you need to worry about BP but EGT's may be the problem. I would only close the valve for idling or braking. I tried to rev mine and the uppipes leaked bad but mine are bad but I don't tinkk it is good idea to push it.
