[QUOTE="6.0 Tech, post: 1566708, member: 23001"] Cut pistons lower the compression ratio, and it will haze more at idle, especially when cold. I’ve got cut pistons in my truck, and when it’s cold here for Az, like 30-40 degrees, it looks like the streets on fire until it gets up to temp. The fact that it smells like fuel also leans toward it being compression related, as diesel needs heat to fire the fuel, lower compression equals less heat. And now that I said that, double check the glow plug system and make sure it’s working properly. Ohms should be 1 or less for each glow plug, and if you have a relay, should be relatively no voltage drop across it when it’s actuated, like probably less than .2v drop Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
