@Adrenaline73 sounds like the glow plugs are getting old, plug in the block heater when the truck is cold and see if it starts easier. if it does it is your glow plugs

I will definitely do that

I would go for the IDIT,and at that price you better jump on it if it checks out.I agree with IDIBRONCO about the quality of those dodge bodies.It's a cumm-apart in a fall-apart.
I also agree with nitro guy that with a turbo and a zf5,that truck will have no problem pulling that kind of weight.

so I bought the truck but we had to jump the solenoid on the fender to get it to start. But I did get another turbo and injectors and injection pump and transfer case with it for 3k

It sounds like you got a good dealWhy did you have to jump the fender solenoid?Was the ignition switch not working,or is the solenoid just bad?

I'd say that you certainly didn't get hurt.

when you turned the key the solenoid would click but has no power to the one side so if you jump it starts. So I’m thinking the solenoid is bad

It’s got some decent power kinda surprised me when pulling a hill.

The smoke would be the r&d injectors(hard to find, so having them is a win). The injection pump is probably turned up a little to match the injectors. Nothing to worry about. The only thing that I would do is put an egt gauge in. Along with an egt gauge do the banks downpipe. If the factory downpipe is on there then you should rip it right out, the thing sucks. As for the rough start thats typical. Sounding like a powerstroke would be because of the turbo, again not a bad thing lol

also the clicking noise from the solinoid is fine, mind does the same thing

pump hasn’t been turned up does have an EGT gauge though no boost gauge it seems really quite when it’s warm not a lot clatter. Seems like it should be louder so I don’t know but it does have an exhaust leak somewhere on the passenger side sounds like a leaky manifold
