Bad Injector?

Hey guys i got a 99 psd. It runs hard when i first start it but after it warms up it runs fine or if i plug it in for about 2 hours it does fine to. So i thought i need to replace the glow plugs so i did and also replaced the glow plug relay and still i have the same problem could this be a bad injector or injectors? Thanks for the help Evan

starts rough

does it do it without the 10K mod in? do you run any fuel system cleaner (i.e seafoam through your fuel bowl), or biodiesel mix? that's about the limit of my "expertise". Maybe get it buzz tested along with a cylinder contribution test?

Ever run any ful injector cleaner through it? Could just be a dirty injector. Not quite sure, but it could possibly injector o-rings bad. How many miles on the truck?
