Nick in his first post he says that it is a 94 non turbo diesel which should mean that the engine is a IDI and not a Powerstroke. The glow plugs will be visible along with the injectors on the top of the engine.

Use on Motorcraft ZD-9 glow plugs on a 7.3 IDI engine.

My 6.9 idi blew white smoke until warm and under light acceleration. Put some fuel cleaner in it and clean the lines mine ended up being a clogged return line. I just rebuilt the injectors and put all new return lines on. Cant tell if it really fixed my problem though being as i just blew the turbo. Got a spare 7.3 idi going in this weekend.

I used power service cutaneous boost in the clear bottle but you might want to rebuild your injectors if you never messed with them it's pretty easy there's a kit on rock auto for like 80 bucks
