1. Describe the problem you are having in detail:
With diesel the truck on 1st start of the day would have some white smoke. When I would drive it would have alot of hesitation almost like a miss between 1500 and 2000 rpm if I slowed down it would smooth out and if I step on it, it would get up and go. The truck does this even when it is at temp. Has the engine got warmer it would be less noticable but still there. Almost every time when I shut the truck off and go shopping I restart the truck it runs fine for the rest of the day
I switched over to biodiesel about 150 miles ago and all the problems have gotten worse. I have alot of white smoke on start up and the engine looks like it wants to jump out of the truck. After about 1 min the truck smooths out and idles fine with no smoke. If I step on the gas I get no power and alot of white smoke. I let the truck idle for about 10 to 15 min and I can drive it but it will act just like it does on diesel.
I let the truck idle untill it was up to temp and it wouldnt hold 2000 rpm
after I drove the truck it would hold 2000 rpm
The truck has never stalled and runs fine down the highway
I replaced the injectors, air filter, thermostats, and pmd about 5000 miles ago because of the problem. I replaced the fuel filter about 600 miles ago and just replace the after market filter 200 miles ago mounted before factory filter.
2. Year of truck/engine.1999
3. Odometer reading (indicate miles or kilometers).150508
4. Indicate the model number on the Injection pump (starts DS4 or DB2......).dont know

7. Air Filter condition (visual check).good replaced 5000 ago
8. Fuel filter condition (freshly changed, mileage since changed).new 600 miles ago

9a. If remote mounted, describe wiring harness (homemade or purchased from which vendor). purchased off ebay 1 1/2 years ago dont know vendor
9b. Indicate the location and condition of the FSD/IP grounding wire.there is a wire on the injection pump screw

16. Does engine crank, or "turn over"?yes
16a. Does engine start and run?yes
17. If engine does not start- Crack injector line (http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2188140#post2188140): do you have fuel? na
18. Does your Wait To Start light come on?yes
18a.Number of seconds WTS light is lit.about 5 sec
19. Engine Cranking speed (if you have an accurate tachometer).truck starts fine
20. Are you experiencing Stalling?no
20a. Describe the event (upon startup only, down the road, hit a bump, etc...)on start up and going down the road
20b. Do you notice loss of dash or instruments?no
21. Check turbo inlet and air filter for obstructions.fine
22. In a no-hot start, pour a bottle of room-temp water on the injection pump. Does it start now?n/a
23. Lift pump test (http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39350) - Describe results.works fine
24. Upon cold start, does the radiator hose get hard quickly? no
25. Upon cold start, do you have excessive white smoke? yes
26. Do you have excessive cranking time before the engine starts? no

33. Are you using any fuel additives? If so, please list.no
34. Upon unscrewing fuel cap, do you have a large vacuum formed in the tank? i can hear air but i dont know if it is vacuum or pressure i did pull the diesel cap apart and the one way vent worked fine

36. Please indicate any modifications to the vehicle that might help us diagnose better.home made turbo master but had the problem before
