[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 47097, member: 82"] White smoke is un-burnt fuel. Your glow plugs probably are not working, it will cause very hard starting. If you get a heavy gauge cable and run it from your glow plug rail and hold it to the +ve battery terminal for about 30 seconds, get someone in the cab to try cranking it. If the plugs are good, it should burst into life very quickly if not instantly. Its also possible the plugs are burnt out. If you remove them and use a test cable and put them on your battery, they should glow red right to the tip. If the plufs were not working at all and you got it to start, your engine is probably in pretty good shape. I know i have a machine that flat out will not start without a glow. [/QUOTE]
