I'M THINKING INJECTORS ORINGS

Today i started the truck after it's been sitting for 9 hours and nothing but smoke (gray 60*day) clears up after a min. but if i rev it reel hard it will stumble at 1800 rpm and blow smoke smells like raw fuel. runs about the same on hwy.but has a little miss at idle no CEL

Now would be a hood time to ohm your glow plugs and see if any need replacing before you tear into it. Also when you get in there, re-torque your lower injector hold down bolt to 120 in-lbs and the rocker arm pedestal bolts to 20 ft-lbs.

I'd replace them even if they are testing ok. Plus it's the easy way to get the oil out of the chamber.

I would too. They are only 80 bucks a set. Get motorcraft, they don't swell.

alright got it all back together and running took it for a 8 to 10 mile drive parked it went back out 30 min. later and it took longer to start than normal it use to start as soon as you hit the key now it about 12 to 15 sec. how long does it take to get all the air out of the fuel system.and could that be my longer cranking time
