Hey everyone,
Got a 1985 250 with the 6.9idi naturally aspirated. Converted it to the 7.3 fuel filter head for water draining purposes. Return lines, caps and injectors all dry and free of leaks. I have a clean and functional CDR valve and my injecton pump seems to be working nicely. The coolant level never changes and it has recently been completely changed. Truck hardly uses any oil, about a quart between every 5k. So, having said all that, I live in northern Michigan and this diesel is a pretty impressive cold starter. Some white smoke for about ten seconds after starting (high idle set). I let truck warm up and idle down before driving. At idel, after ten seconds of running, the truck doesn't smoke at all. Today, I was driving to subway to get my lunch, outside temp was 9 degrees Fahrenheit. When I put my foot on the pedal in between the Geers, she smokes white. I wouldn't say a lot, but enough for me to question it. I have had a few other idi guys tell me it's just steam from the exhaust. Looking for answers.
Thanks,
Cody.
