Default Rough start after HSS.

So I'm not sure why but as soon as I did my oil change, with the addition of HotShotSecret but now my truck starts like SH*T. Starts fine if I plug the truck in.
Any body have ideas for me to try, things for me to look at, things to do? Thanks in advance.

Are your glow plugs working properly? Maybe u knocked off a wire or something?

I tried to add a video of the start but it didn't seem to like that idea. Lol.
I'm going to test them when the sun comes up, but I find it to very unlikely because I was no where close to hurting the harness or control module.

Perhaps the HSS is freeing up gunk that has collected up. After all, that's what it's supposed to do.
I would assume you added the HSS when you changed your oil...

What does your oil look like? Is it clean, like new oil?
If the oil is dirty already, this tells you it's freeing up the gunk that has collected up.

Bustedknuckles, you would be correct to assume so. Well, only about 200 miles since the change and it looks pretty nasty. So I guess it's safe to assume it is doing its job and I'm just paranoid

If it already looks bad and nasty, I would drain the oil and re-fill to get all that crap out. No reason to be sending that **** threw the injectors to F them up. I had good results from HSS when I used it. What oil are you running?

Is there a way I can drain the oil but filter it to re use it? Only reason I ask is I'm living a minimum wage pay check to pay check. My father in law (I live with my family in law) had a stroke and the medical bills after 5 days in icu swept them clean of all of our savings, etc. etc.

No need for sob story.. Point being, I'm not in a position to dump a $160 dollars worth of oil that was put in a week ago...

What is the typical load percentage on injectors during cold start up? Percent while warm?
