new to diesel please help
I have a 1996 GMC with a 6.5.The first crank of the day it will usually fire right up after that you have to try to turn it over three or four times to crank.When it does this it has black smoke at first and quickly turns white.It does not have any trouble turning over just the actual firing up and running part is tricky.If it was gas engine I could find problem but this is diesel and I have no clue and I do not wish to start buying parts until I find the correct one.Thanks in advance for any help.

idle is excellent and as far as knocks nothing that i can tell is out of the ordinary.runs out good going down the road or setting in the yard.it holds roughly 40 lbs of oil pressure.gere is one thing i have noticed today it only does when motor is warm.first crank of the day it fires right up and if it sets for a while it fires up no problem.is this timing?if so does a diesel adjust the same as gas power or is there a procedure?does injector pumps make an unusual rattle?
