[QUOTE="Land-Tech, post: 13538, member: 1679"] Whitey, If outside temps are below freezing and I haven't plugged in the block heater and the engine has bad glowplugs or no preheat of some sort, a deisel will blow white smoke until it warms up. As it's doing this it will rattle and at least to me,make a a lot of unnerving noises.As they warm up they smooth out and then run fine.The old 6.9 and 7.3 ford pick-ups are bad for this if there are a couple of glowplugs burnt out. The 2 cycle detroits are really bad in cold weather but once they warm up it goes away. I was told that this was due to cold cylinder temp. Also its a real dirty white, if there is such a color and you will smell the unburnt fuel .Try warming it up by parking in a warm garage and see if it makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
