I wait for my rig to tell me that it's alive again. Usually takes about 20 minuts to a half hour of driving before I feel it smooth back out and wake up completely, then again it's winter, it takes a while. I also don't have temp guages, though I'd love to.

Yes -- Engine oil temp & coolant temps are very close most of the time. I *was* going to put a coolant temp sensor on my ScanGauge, but after seeing EOT, don't see a need. I do want to put an oil pressure gauge in, though. Maybe I'll do oil & fuel pressure on it. hhmmm........

Yea, if you find something that you can roll all into one then let me know. I'm thinking of getting one of the smart digital scan guages (when money permits) that chimes when something goes out of a preset range.
Now that would be cool.

I have had a start problem since I put the injectors in though.
Every time my truck had been sitting for more than 5hours, I would start it and it would smoke white smoke and run rough for about the first 60seconds (unless I brought the RPM up to around 1500 and held it there for 20seconds)
Couldn't seem to make it not do this, didn't matter what tune, or what the temp was outside.
As our weather cooled off outside, on really cold mornings it seemed to be a little bit harder to start than usual.

Who made your injectors?

I really don't know... But I am now on the fence as to what rods to put in the new motor. I really am scared to have to go through this again. I am looking for a GOOD price on some GOOD rods, so that no matter what I do down the road, I don't end up doing this again.... Suggestions?
