Ok should i pull them all or one at a time? i pulled one at a time there al dry. i bumped the engine over and let the pressure out of each cyclinder and nothing. i then put a pressure tester on the exspansion tank and pumped it up to 20 pounds and pulled them all again one at a time and still nothing.. am i missing something and doing this wrong? thanks guys for all your help

Ok i pulled all the plugs after i let it get to temp and i then put a pressure tester on it and pumped it up to 20 psi and cranked it over and nothing comes from any of the holes.. iv done a leak down test as well and theres no leaks anywhere. and for some reason when i start the truck no smoke except black when i gas it up.. but i get smoke out of the tank. it burps out then stops and the temp doesnt get above the first full line .. im losing my mind

Ok i found the hose going from the water pump to the t-stat housing leaking . someone said that could be sucking air into the system and making it burp out of the rad cap.. anyone heard of anything like this before

Ok i did the test with the engine cold after it sit for almost 5 hrs.. and still no coolant from the glow plugs.. and as i mentioned before i did find the hose going from the water pump to the t-stat leaking and a friend of mine said it's sucking air and putting air pockets into the system and causing the coolant to burp from the tank... ever hear of that?
