Alright here is the current lowdown... I am an idiot, first of all. When I took the rails off to clean them, I forgot to tighten the T50 plug on the left rail, the one on the back. Anyway, I was too stupid or I am getting blind in my old age, to see the small leak. Anyway, took it off and tightened it, and boom, fired right up. BUT!

It smokes white like a freight train.... BAD...
I made a little video.

That kinda looks like coolant steam to me.......:confused: Tough to tell on a video. Does the exhaust smell coolantish or like raw diesel?

I should know this - but do LLY's have injector cups?

Raw diesel. It is getting WAY too much fuel for some reason. What sensor would cause that?? That is all i can think of, some sensor is messed up making it think for some reason it needs to just dump ungodly amounts of diesel in. It is definitely not coolant...

If the rail pressure is too high at idle that could cause it did you make sure the regulator on the CP3 was plugged in all the way

Yeah that is the thing, I don't have a reader, I have just been throwing parts at it...... Yeah they are stock, brand new injectors along with a stock reman cp3.

@ kevinL Yup I think I plugged it in until it clicked, I will recheck it though.

Do I just google efi live? Any special one? I will just order one it if it will help fix it, at least I could sell it when I fix the truck and recoup some of that cost.

Pull the glowplugs out and crank it over and see if you got fuel shooting out one of the holes-could have a hung injector.

Diesel Place has a ton of members. Maybe there is someone in your area with EFILive or a Tech 2? I would check over there as well.
You really need to check your rail pressure and do a balance rate check.

Just took it for a drive, and I am getting low coolant level on the DIC and enough white smoke to where I couldn't see in my rearview. It was solid white smoke. I have never seen so much white smoke come out of a tailpipe. I will try to get a video of it here in a bit, it is pretty incredible This is as bad as when my 03 6.0 powerstroke took a dump. It blew up at 104k miles and I had to buy a new engine for the thing. Looks like the same thing goes for gm motors.
