Violet Wire Mod Works
I made a post a while back about hellatiously smokey start ups and thinking the valve seals were bad. How wrong was I. At the suggestion of several members here, I did the "violet wire mod" while hooking it up to a thermal relay to allow for afterglow. Well with diesel at $4.20 and rising about 20 cents a week my truck is parked and the Benz is the DD now. It fired up this morning (about 11 degrees outside) with only a small puff of white smoke. All the blue smoke that poured out for about 1-2 minutes is gone. Thanks go to Babymog and all who suggested it.
