Starter Issue...
So I had a problem with getting the truck to start (see the "Thanks for the help" thread) and got that fixed by replacing the glow plugs.

Black Smoke Question...
Gents, I do really enjoy reading the great info here, but have not read it all, so please be gentle. :) Anyhow, the other day I was pulling my boat home (on a trailer of course) and the wifey was right behind me.
