Back from the dead.
I bought a 94 f350 non turbo 7.3 with a Fisher plow a while back but never got around to even seeing if it ran. Seeing the truck sat for over 3 years, the motor seemed to almost be seized. It wouldn't turn over at all at first , but after loosening up all the pullies by hand I got it to roll. Very slow at first but then fastr and faster. I dumped in new fuel and conditioner, cracked the injectors and voila. Got fuel, capped off the injectors and she fired right up! So far it's got a busted brake line and tranny line which is no big deal, but it smokes pretty bad. The smoke is whitish blue and blows lots of it. Is this water in the fuel? What are some of the things I should change to get this thing running a little better? I'm trying to learn but have very little knowledge about diesels. Any help is MUCH appreciated! Thanks
Josh

It didn't smell like coolant. I tried to stay out of it but it was pretty thick. I was hoping for water in the fuel, but someone told me it could be an injector? Could a bad injector cause the smoke and if so how can I test them? I think I'm going to have to buy a manual for this truck.
