I rechecked inside the fuel bowl. My bowl heater is unplugged totally. Apparently I bought the truck this way. So I doubt it’s causing my trouble

There's no definitive answer to that.If my IPR or PCM was bad, would I still be getting smoke when cranking the engine??
A friend came over and helped me get it running....
I started looking back at what I’ve checked. Not much made sense. I always hear the glow plug relay click on. It’s one of the 1st things I checked. It tested fine. After having it run last night, it wouldn’t start this morning. So I rechecked the GP relay. This time it tested dead! So I jumped it with a screw driver and it fired right up. I turned it off to recheck and it tested just fine. So now it appears my GP relay is playing work/broke with me. Jumping the relay works every time I’ve tried.
So now a new relay is on the way. Unbelievable.
That’s what I am gettingMost of the time it is something simple on these trucks.
I'd take this opportunity to upgrade to the larger stancor relay...and even go one step further to put a 12v LED in the cab wired to the glow plug side of the relay so you can visually see when the plugs are energized.
