did you pull the injection pump off when redoing the head gaskets? if so its time to check timing.

 

[psy9zach]

That's basically where I'm at as far as I can tell but I dont have a tachometer or a ferret gauge which seems to be what you need I think the blue is bc of the diesel kleen

Blue is retarded timing, typically 6+ degrees retarded. White is even more retarded, enough that it's actually missing.

I am wondering if you need to adjust the valves???

The valves aren't adjustable. Just torque the rocker arms down.

Let me ask this with the radiator open is it normal to get some smoke out of it well the truck is running like is that just steam?

I'll now add my two cents here. From reading this post, it sounds like you're seeing something coming out of the radiator only when the engine's running, at operating temperature, thermostat open, and radiator cap off. If this is true, then it's normal and it's just steam coming out like you guessed earlier. If I read this wrong, I apologize. I'm pretty tired right now.

No your correct I had just taken it up and down the road and the gauge read at normal operating temp

Thank you. I'm learning.

You're welcome. We're all still learning. If we aren't, then we're probably not too interested.

It's like my dad always said to me "the second we think we know everything, is the second we learn nothing"

My unofficial one is "just about the time you think you've seen it all, you're proven wrong".
