Radio Flyer hit the nail on the head. The PSD's are a b!tch to start in the cold without glow plugs. Those glow plug relays can come and go when they are bad, too so check it a couple of times if it tests good. The smoke is a sign that you are getting fuel, and the color, white, indicates that it is raw fuel. Check the GPR, and then we can move forward.

 

jonesy,


Any updates?

FYI that raw fuel cloud is highly combustible....not sure if you're a smoker or not but don't light anything or use really hot worklights around it.

In a controlled environment it can be fun, but usually isn't otherwise.

(just tryin' to inject some humor)

Still willing to help you out, call anytime. 24/7, all good, everybody else does.

 

Good Morning everyone,

I havent had the chance to start her up again...but I will try sometime today. Thank you all again for your help

 

Well?

 

This is what the relay should look like... let us know what you've come up with

 

Those GPR's are known to come and go when they fail. So, just because it starts starting good does not mean it is fixed.

 

TTT

Status?

 

Back on up - any updates jonesy?

 

Hey guys...Sorry but I've been so busy with work (9-5) for the past few weeks so I've been getting home really late. I will try as soon as possible to get crackin' again.

BTW I failed to ask this question from my original post....

Why do I have TWO batteries under the hood? Is this standard? I do have airbrakes and air suspension (which I don't know how to use) so I'm assuming there is a relationship.

Thanks again guys.

 

Diesel's require two (or more/diff batteries for larger engines) batteries because of the cranking amps required for the starter to turn a diesel engine over
