Hi all, I tend to ramble so I'll *try* to stick to the facts
2003 6.0
FICM 48.5 - 49.0
New ICP
4 new injectors (small lot I bought it from says all 8, only 4 on Ford Receipt)
Stock coolers
stock head bolts
NO puking or coolant loss
Everything has been fine, just loaded up the Looney tune on Tues or Weds. First thing I notice is it starts very harshly after sitting. Starts like normal, but much harder and with black smoke.
Vivian (who, along with her crew, have been beyond awesome) asked me for a vid.
Went out this morning, and cranked forever, no start.
Tried again, and finally got her to fire up.
Video links below - Tons of white smoke during cranking.
Stiction? Glow Plugs?
What could have caused this?
Smoke in 2nd video is not from truck riest:
Vivian is having DJ take a look at the vids as well. From my research it looks like it's fuel related. Hopefully nothing horrible... saving up for bulletproofing right now and can't really incur too much additional expenses. My wife would castrate me.
