So yesterday was the day. It was in the mid 50's, best chance I was going to have on getting this beast going. Battery fully charged, remote starter in hand and a 3/4" open end wrench to crack the injectors. Got it cranking and cracked the first injector. Wouldn't you know this thing was blowing smoke and trying to start! Normally they say 60 seconds on the glow plugs to even get these things to think about starting. So I crawled out from underneath, jumped up on top and hit the glow plug switch for 20 seconds. Hit the starter button and it started popin' off! Stumbled and died. 10 more seconds on the glow plugs and off she went again! This time for good! I jumped down and grabbed my 'phone to get a picture of the cloud of smoke and.. uh oh, I forgot to attach the fuel return line to the tank! Oh well, I took a good shower in diesel before I could get that line snaked through the housing and into the tank, but, I sure wasn't going to shut it down.
Very happy now. :thumbsup
