2002 psd 330,000 miles. Temperature as of late has been in the upper 20's at night. Plugging in truck at night or not plugging in truck I am getting the same results which are as follows:
Truck cranks right up.
Engine feels like it is missing.
Blue smoke from start up to warm up(pretty good fog of smoke).
Smoke seems to stop when going down highway.
When I stop I see a pretty good trail of smoke coming out of tailpipe.
Engine feels like it wants to go dead but doesn't.
Removed oil filler cap while engine is running, looks like the choo choo effect that has been referred to on this site.
Have never change glow plugs the GPS or the injectors.
Batteries have not been checked.
Bought diesel from different location because of traveling during Christmas holiday.
If I have water in the system I do not know how to purge it.
Thanks for the help

Cranked the truck this morning. Temperature 18 degrees. Truck was not plugged in, cranked right up. Blue smoke coming from exhaust pipe and somewhere under hood/engine. I let truck warm up according to the gauge. I increased rpm's to around twenty thousand while truck was in park. I could see a trace of smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. I let the truck go back to idle and had a steady stream of smoke coming from exhaust pipe.
What would be your course of action at this point?

The worst issue that you will experience is blowing oil everywhere.
You'll get there.
