So first post here new member, bought this truck about 2 months ago from a guy never maintained in my opinion oil leaks out the ***** typical 6.9 stuff so bought the truck and drove it home that night couldn't get it to start with key had to pop the clutch trucks an 86 f250 6.9 196,000 got it home put a new alternator, batteries battery cables ordered a loft kit before installing the lift kit I pulled the truck up on the concrete pad at home and let it run while I tried to wash and degrees as much as I could before pulling it in to tear the front end apart truck ran the whole time as I washed first ally pulled it in the shop and tore apart front end truck sat for a solid week, went to start it and nothing crank and crank and crank no start changed the oil changed the fuel filter tried again still no start pulled the Injectors cleaned installed new copper washers and injector kit still no start, bled system by cracking the lines, found intake bolts missing and intake was not sealed properly did find some water in the oil when I changed it, ordered new intake gasket and Injector pump, put new zd9 glow plugs in and installed the 7.3 controller and updated the glow plug system new batteries new starter upgraded 7.3 rocker arms new valve cover gaskets all while it was down, went to start today in an attempt and still nothing has plenty of fuel going to it all the Injectors have fuel not a puff of smoke out of the exhaust or even a hint of anything acts like it wants to start but don't I'm at the end of the rope with this thing last time this happened I ended finding a whole other motor and put in I have a feeling it has no compression left to her with the intake of while cranking I have tons of white like smoke that comes out while cranking at the solenoid, so my question at this point is there anything else I would be missing that would be causing this thing not to run this is my last resort to see if anybody has gone through this themselves thanks guys!!!
