Before you try to attack it with a chainsaw would you consider parting it out amongst the rest of us..?

Personally, I would use a downed hardwood tree...it would burn better and be easier on chainsaw bars and chains.

Sorry...I just couldn't stop myself...

Welcome aboard...and don't mind me...

Take care,

P.S. Is it automatic or standard transmission..?

Dangit all
Now that was a good catch...

Check the lines to the injectors and make sure the firing order is correct. You got this! Nuttin' to it!

checked injection lines order twice, Looks to be in correct order, according to this diagram.

Cool...

The timing could be off a bit, but if it cranks up good....that makes me "feel" like the timing ain't too bad.....next im guessing maybe there's stuck injectors making the white smoke.....but wait for more of the pros to chime in. Don't stop believin'.....

ok, wouldnt say it runs good, just ok. Seems to lack power and pops . Lots of white smoke did go away when I drove it hard.

It's cranking up that im talking about, not running under load. If it comes to life easy, the timing can't be too far away (in my experience/opinion). I have a suspicion that the popping and smoke is fuel being sprayed in during the power and exhaust stroke.......but wait for the knowledgeable ones to chime in. More info coming!

ahh..... Good description.
I really appreciate the troubleshoot wisdom on here!

Any more thoughts for me to try ? Adjust timing ? Higher quality injectors ? Would compression check help or be next move ?? Thanks

Certainly check the timing. Test the injectors maybe, before you buy.....unless you just want new ones. And a compression test wouldn't hurt for sure....ultimately, you got some type of fueling issue.....its a diesel, thats all it can be unless a rod is hanging out the side of the engine.
