mine has a little smoke at cold start it didn't use to have,but figured after eight years may have a glow plug or two not up to par,but it still starts good in the teens
not going to worry about it right now

question...... when i start my truck (after its warm), if i let the glow plugs cycle properly it takes a few seconds to start. However if i turn the key on directly and just start it it fires right up. Whats up with that? i have the new stancor GPR, i have replaced the o-ring in the hpop. what could this be?
