power smoker
i have '97 f250 with about 210k miles on the clock . been thinking of contacting rosewood diesel and sending my injectors to be refurbished into stage 1's. it has not been running quite right for about a month. extra smoke when starting when it was cold and idleing rough until it warmed up.bought new glow plugs and planned on putting them in when i sent my injectors in. stared it up friday to go to work and it seems like its running on 7 cyls. lots of grey smoke(white with black). im talking lots of smoke. i shut it down and took my other truck to work. im thinking an injector took a poop. about a year ago i had to put in valve cover gaskets,under valve cover wire harness and a new injector control module. a shop did that. $2300. worth of stuff. so im not thinking its that.any thoughts?

I would take off the 10K mod and see if the black smoke goes away. This morning it was 27 degrees and I had a lot of white smoke until I took off then in about 1 1/2 blocks all was well. Might just want to take that mod off and take truck for a spin.

For sure take the 10K mod off thats giving ya more fuel and probably makin the truck run rougher than normal, check the connectors to the HEUI u think took a crap on ya if ya havnt already, let us know what ya find after u take the 10K off

injectors were the culprit. found 2 that were not torqued down. on one of those the copper gasket was non existant anymore. the whole end was black. the bottom o ring on that one was in real bad shape . i'm glad i found something that could say "there's the problem." i dont know what the previous owner had done to the truck ,but only one injector had a backup ring for the o ring second down from the top . i took a pic ,but dont know how to upload it. need to contact jim at rosewood for stage1's .
thanks for the help, would not have tackled it without this site
