I recently picked up a 95 powerstroke with a lot of new parts on it. It billows white smoke on startup, but clears when it reaches temp. Supposedly the truck has had new injectors, glow plugs, and glow plug relay in the last 4 years. I have done a full injector o ring job, and I am running Stanadine injector cleaner in it now, but it still smokes (i don't feel like it is as bad though).

I am looking for someone that can scan the OBD2 and run injector/glow plug tests. I am worried that I might have a bad or stuck injector, but I have no way of testing that myself. I am just looking for a good mechanic that knows his way around 7.3L

Thanks

Derrick does all my work that I don't like doing on my 6.0, and has owned a bunch of ford diesels personally and is a great mechanic.

(919) 544-7292 - If that number doesn't work let me know, and I can give you his personal number.
 
A $20 OBD2 wireless reader and a phone app will let you run a buzz test. Be happy to do it for you with mine, I’m probably a bit farther than you want to travel though.
 
no, obd2
NCB per them they don't work on vans :)
white smoke - perhaps it cold ? whats 'billows' is that lot ? or normal
did you change out the copper shield thing-a-bob (CUP) at the bottom of the injectors ? (how is the coolant? level )
[they will leak a bit of coolant when cold but can stop when warm, usually for the first 20,000]
sound like you pretty much change out most of the stuff and are good for another 500,000
