Once warm it runs great. During the summer it would always start but for about minute it would smoke and shake a bit. Yesterday at about 30 degrees it wouldn't start at all. After plugging in the block heater and charger it reluctantly started. The battery checked out but I replaced it anyway. This morning at 19 degrees it started but I had to hold the key for a good 10 seconds or it would just stall. Same smoke and slight shaking. When I turn on the ignition I can hear a relay click and again when the glow plug light turns off after about 20 seconds. My old LX665 would fire without issue no matter how cold without block heat. One thing I thought was odd is the glow plug light stays on for the full length of time no matter how warm or how many times I cycle the key. My LX665 had a glow plug countdown display and when started cold it would start at 10 seconds. Depending how warm the engine was during a re-start the plugs would run between 0 and 5 seconds. I'm mechanically inclined but don't have much experience with diesels. Any help is greatly appreciated.</p></blockquote><p></p>
