During this cold weather (pretty much since I owned the truck) I get blue smoke when I come up off idle.

My start up procedure is this.

Plug in block heater 2 hours before startup (manual notes 1 hour is required)
Cycle heater grid 3 times...10 seconds off between cycles.
Start rig.
LEave idle, leave come up to fast idle (1000rpm) for a while 2-3 minutes.
Bring up off idle until i slowly build up to 1800-2000rpm.
When I get around 1500-1800 I get blue smoke out the exhaust.

Dont use any oil however and I am about due for my 7500 mile oil change.
Have 58000 on the odometer.

How do I affix a fast idle switch to make the rig idle at 1200-1400-1600 rpm with a manual or electronic override? (On my 6.5 chubby you could jump certain pins on the service port.)

Thanks for any insight or suggestions.

 

normal

 

yep, normal... here's my cold weather start up sequence

from home:
plug in block heater 3-4 hours before leaving to work [that long since we've been having -20°c weather ]

unplugging heater
start truck up after one grid cycle
clean off snow & ice from windows
get in truck, drive to work

from work:
no plug at work
start truck after one grid cycle [starts up right at 1000rpm]
clean off ice/snow off windows
get in and wait a minute or two while the engine is sitting at 1000rpm idling
start driving home...

there is no need to idle the engine for more than a few minutes... the engine will heat up much quicker with a light load on it.. when it gets real cold out, i get blue smoke while the engine is at 1000rpm idle...
