So I picked up a 2002 F250 with the 7.3 Powerjoke for $500 a week ago. Truck is in good shape. Slightly less than average rust for a Michigan truck. Everything works on it, AC, 4x4, all 4 doors(for once!). It has high miles, 395k. Has been a company vehicle since new. I know things have been replaced on it, as I work for the shop that does work on all their equipment.
Anywho..
It takes a couple minutes of cranking to get it to start. Tested Glowplugs and relay, all good. Injectors passed buzz test and Cylinder Contribution Test. Once its running and warmed up, the thing runs awesome. Plenty of power and will start right up with a flick of the key.
Right before it starts it will smoke white some, but it WONT smoke the whole time while its cranking, Has a slight miss for a few seconds, then smooths out...
HPOP res has oil in it about 1/2" from the top or so in the morning, HPOP is also building upwards of 2200PSI right when you start cranking..
I also noticed some fuel in the valley of the engine.. So from what everything points to, thus far, it seems something is leaking when it sits overnight, getting air in the fuel system.
So my question is.. What is all there to leak that would cause this? I have a decent stock of then International rubber seals for the lines, going to change those out next. But I want to know if there is anything really common or obvious for me to look at. Thanks!
