Starting in the morning she fires up nicely and idles great for about 30 seconds. I have not timed it exactly. After that she shakes and rattles and the idle is not that great. As soon as the engine warms up a bit all is good until the next morning. I assume when the glow plugs shut off is when the shaking starts. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks for looking

How are the filters? When was the last time the injectors were looked at? Also, when were the prechambers inspected?

a 91 should have the GP's running for around 3 minutes after starting, so if it's getting rough after 30 seconds, it's probalby air in the system.

You could have a bad glow plug. With one bad one I experience hard start and a little extra shaking. I'd check em.
