I just don't get this truck sometimes...toward the end of last week (when it was warmer) the truck was starting rough in the morning and when I would go to leave work in the afternoon. It seems like when it's in the 60-70 degree range, I can glow it for 8-10 seconds and start it and it runs rough, belches smoke, and acts all cantankerous for a minute or two until it smooths out (or I kick on the high idle). I thought maybe I had another glowplug or two go out on me.
Yet yesterday morning, afternoon, and today, when it was chilly (mid 40's in the morning, mid 50's in the afternoon) I got in the truck, glowed it for 13 seconds roughly, and it fired right up and idled smooth as can be without me even having to kick on the high idle.
Not only that, but it had been running rough on restart when I would stop somewhere and come back out...yesterday I stopped at the store for 20 minutes, came back out and started it up and ran smooth, which it hasn't done for awhile.
