Wow thank you all for the help! What a great community here.

I'll definitely look into adjusting the valves myself-- it looks scary haha. I didn't know it was something that could be done DIY. I'd love to be able to do it myself.

I'll check for air leaks again and also try warming the glow plugs longer, checking their voltage, the battery voltage, and check the block heater.


charmalu, good idea, I'm in Melbourne, Florida. I'll add it to my profile.


Is the grey/white exhaust smoke normal when trying to start?


Thanks everyone!!
