[QUOTE="mac2720, post: 342749, member: 6912"] Alright so I gave in and took it to the shop on Monday. I spoke to the head diesel mechanic and told him everything that went on. He hooked his computer up to it and he said that everything was as it should be. Fuel pressure, oil pressure, FICM were all good. so he threw 2 new batteries in it and got it to fire up after cranking on it for a while. So I had all 8 glow plugs replaced. Just picked it up from the shop yesterday and that didnt seem to fix the problem completely. In the morning it will fire up after a few cranks but will run really rough and seem to wanna cut off for about 5 minutes. I started it up throughout the day and it normally starts up on the first or second crank but still runs a little rough for a few minutes until it warms up. I spoke to the mechanic about the problem and he is thinking that it could be something in the turbo because when you start it up the turbo doesnt seem to kick in until it warms up after that 5 minutes and then it runs perfect. For that first 5 minutes all you hear is diesel motor but then you can hear the turbo whistle kick in once its running for a few minutes and the rough idle clears up. He said that using ether could have caused some compression issues in that turbo and therefore its not kicking in when you start the truck up until it warms up and opens. I don't know much about this kinda stuff but it seems like this could be a good explanation to the problem. Do you all know if this seems right and if the turbo itself would be causing these rough starts? Any advice or info would be very helpful as im trying to figure out this problem for good. Once the truck warms up and the turbo kicks in, then it runs perfectly fine but it seems to take a little while for that turbo to kick in everytime you start it, especially first thing in the morning.
