I purchased this truck new, first new one for me. It has 120,000 +/- miles on it. The problem started several weeks ago in this fashion; I drove it approximately 4 miles, shut it off for about 15 minutes, started it up and drove about 10 feet. It died and then would not start. I hauled it home and tried to start it the next day, no problem, I then drove it two or three times, several miles with long stops, no problem. thought the one start was just a fluke. Not so, I drove it maybe 1/2 mile, shut it off for about 20 minutes, started it up and made about 10 feet. Towed it home and was able to start it the next day. I am a novice in the diesel repair field so I questioned everyone I knew with a diesel and decided to replace the injection pump and injectors. I had the pump rebuilt in Phoenix and purchased new injectors. It is now extremely difficult to start and smokes like a fully loaded freight train at both idle and full throttle. Can anyone direct me in what to start looking for to fix this problem. I have purchased a timing meter that should be here this week. I did not remove the injection pump drive gear or its housing. I removed the cover plate on the drive gear housing and the injection pump.
