jacked 96 f350

[stonemason]

What's up?, 96 f350 7.3, takes three to four times longer to start than normal, onced running has to warm up for 15 minutes to drive, runsd kinda rough. If I were to start and immediately drive, it would bog down, below 1000rpm, and I would have no throttle response. If I lightly feather the pedal, rpms slowly rise, but the truck billows out white smoke. Please help!!!!

2 things come to mind here, glow plug relay and or glow plugs, did you change anything on the truck before this happened?

Glow plug relay happened to me!! thats the cheapest way to start about 50 bucks at the napa

or spend the diff of 60 more to get the OEM one from the dealer, i have a buddy at work, his had the cold start and white smoke thing also, spent the $110-120 on the OEM and has not had the prob since, he had bought the Oreillys one 6 months earlier and it was so cheap and half the weight (not beefy enuff) .

If relays dont work you might want to look into a high pressure oil pump that feed the oil to the injectors. sometime the o-rings go bad and leak oil by and you lose your prime, or the pump itself goes bad and just doesnt feed oil to the injectors right away.
