I just replaced all 8 injector, glow plugs, relays and fuel pump. I now get heavy grayish black smoke at start up and more smoke while driving. This was never an issue before. What could be the cause. Everything was replaced with OE parts.

Sounds to me as if you may be getting too much fuel. I'd call Jody to see if your tune needs to be adjusted.

I will set it back to factory tonight and see what it does in the morning. If it clears I will have some custom tunes made. I would hate for it to not be right after $3000 of work. The wife keeps telling me to sell it and I just might. I foundone with only a 105,000 miles on it today

How many miles have you put on it since the swap? You’ve got oil in the manifolds that has to burn off. Usually takes 100 miles t9 completely clear out. Less if you drive aggressively.

Split shot injectors? Or single shots

Stock injectors, I went back to factory settings and it is still doing it. I will check fuel pressure and see if it is too high now.

Try driving 100 miles or so to see if it clears up. Maybe some oil got in there somewhere while the injectors were being installed and needs to get burned up.

I did I drove it from Texas too North Carolina after injector install

I hope I figure it out soon or the wife will put her foot down and make me but a new one. I have put back enough cash to get a new one but like watching the account grow instead of having a note or depleting savings.

Are you burning oil? Have you checked your fuel filter? You might have torn an o-ring going back in and now have oil getting into the fuel rail.

I pulled 13,000 pounds to North Carolina from the Texas Louisiana border the day after the swap.
