Hi all, maybe someone can assist me in a problem I am having with my truck.

I have a 1995 Ford F-450 Wrecker. When I attempt to start it it is hard starting, it spins entirely too long. Once it starts, it has a miss in it which seems to be getting worse. I unplugged each injector and noticed no change when I unplugged the injector in cylinder number 7. I replaced the injector, but nothing changed.

Thanks for your replies.
I haven't had the old injector tested. The truck is up on its maintenance, the batteries are fairly new. The check engine light never came on, so I didn't have it checked for codes. I attempted to put my Auto X-ray scan tool on it but repeatedly got the Vehicle is not responding message on the tool, so I figured the diesel isn't compatible with the tool.

I checked the voltage to the #7 injector to see if it was getting a pulse, and just like the rest of them, it did. I am also spitting out white smoke, so I am leaning to either a bad valve, or a cracked head.
