[QUOTE="WHITE TRASH1, post: 1556952, member: 15951"] Nope it started back in the late 80's. Had that issue on my 7.3 idi truck. If you haven't done it already start reading on oilburners.com. If there is knowledge about this subject you'll find it there for sure. Some things to keep in mind is you'll need to run only beru or motorcraft glow plugs. When the glow plug switch, relay or timer goes out replace them all at once. They all have a nearly identical life span. Injector return line kits are worth buying, it's a very common issue to have a leak. Cut out the "soup bowl" from the air cleaner lid for more air flow. You can run a powerstroke oil filter with a bit of massaging of the crossmember if it's in the way. Advance the injector pump a couple flats of the allen wrench and it'll pick up a bit of power along with easier starting without getting hot on hills. [/QUOTE]
