Help! Truck still not completely right.....

[Silver6]

Ive had an issue ever since the injectors got put in, so this leads me to believe its an injector stuck open, but you guys know a lot more than me. Truck was idling crazy after injectors, wound up being programming. Got that fixed. Truck was blowing white smoke after cranking (somewhat of a hard crank) even when 80*. Tested FICM, it was shot. Got a 58v from innovative. Still, when I crank it up in the mornings, and itll be 75-80*+, it is rough, and blows a considerable amount of white smoke. I can let it warm up for 15 minutes or more, and it will still take another 10-15 minutes of driving to get the white smoke to go away. After that, truck seems to run fine. Any help is appreciated. Just want to know if I need Jess to send me a new injector, or what I need to do. BTW, 190/75 injectors. TIA!

Have you talked to jess about it?!?! You could have several problems. Have you isolated which hole is giving you problems?!?!

I spoke with Jess when the idling was crazy, and left him a message this past week. His voicemail said they were short handed this week, so I havent bothered trying him again yet. The only code I pull is cylinder #1 - contribution and balance.....

Could be a bad injector or coil.

What is your icp

 

[Silver6]

What is your icp

no idea. Diesel shops around here are pathetic. I cant find anyone that knows how to test anything to SOMEWHAT try and pinpoint it. All I get is "well....it could be this, or it could be this...." Which, over the internet is one thing, but doing it for a profession with the truck in front of you, is another. Is testing the icp something I can do? Ive just gotten back in the 6.0s here recently, so trying to get back with/up to par on everything.

Now I see you're in north carolina though......how far is greenville from greenville SC?

6-7 hours, Rudy's in Durham may be closer.

I was up that way not too long ago. Went to clayton to buy a RZR, and blew the headgaskets on the way back. Thats when all this fun started. fun....yeh.

I have all these same symptoms, almost exactly. mine cranks hard and usually fires then dies, once started runs really rough and smokes white for about 5 miles before it clears up. I had it scanned and have injector circuit 1 low, but would that cause the white smoke? I do have the egr blocked off and have done stud gaskets and oil cooler a year ago.

Not trying to highjack your thread, but looking forward to guys input to find a possible solution.

No worries, all I want is this thing to run right! Its being this hard to start in warm weather, I can only imagine what it will do come a cold spell.

 

[PowerStrokeEnginuities]

Where the injectors you sent to get built new or used?

that is what concerns me to, i would be surprised if mine would even crank when it gets to be in the 20's here as hard as it starts when it is 80! haha

Jess had a set at his shop that he built, so I could get the truck back asap without the extra time of taking mine out first. I literally contacted him while waiting on the tow truck. I know none are "new," but these are not the ones that came out of the truck.

Oh ok, I haven't had any issues with the new injectors I send him. Another set, a customer brought me 8 used injectors and when instaalled on truck after about 800miles one started missing. JJ@dozers sent me another one ASAP and fixed the issue. Just wondering bud.
