When I bought my truck, it idled great, hot and cold. I didnt have problems with it idling when hot until I put new injectors in it. I also had some injection pump problems, at least I did until I bought my baby moose.

I was told by a local shop that I had a weak lifter, so when my head gasket blew, I replaced lifters and rockers, still the same issue.

Hammerdown had the same problem after changing out his original parts, although I think his was pump related but it sounds like he still has days where his idles a little rough also.

I guess I should see what Russ would charge to rebuild my original Stanadyne injectors.

I'm am having the same problems. 1994 7.3 IDIT with 210k, when it first starts it runs rough and you would think there was the need to call the fire department if you saw the amount of smoke it produced. Then once you get in and go, it clears right up and runs good and relatively smoke free. Till it sits for a couple of hours and you start it up again, then the same thing all over again. I've got to get under the hood before winter comes...
