That kind of sounds flakey. Mine comes up 3 ticks and stays there. If I was hauling a big load it would probably go up but haven't done that yet. Every vehicle I've had is very stable on the temp under light loads.

my temp gauge goes up to the first line in the middle and then settles down about a 1/4" toward cool- from what I've been told this is normal

Hey Monty, maybe you can break the starter problem out of this thread?

Did you run through the KSB diagnostics I linked to in my earlier post? What was the result? It's likely that your problem is a bad connection or a bad KSB switch.
Does the black/gray smoke pretty much clear out once the turbo spools up? If so that sounds normal.

After warm up the smoke will depend on your fueling/boost levels....if you have fueling come on a bit too early then the smoke will tend to be more toward the black or dark grey.
If you have the pump set "properly" then the fueling "increase rate" will be slow enough that the boost will be up before you get any extra fueling and your smoke will lean more toward the grey side.
Normally a grey color means you have your fueling per lb. of boost set about right.
