3208n/a engines start up smoke

[Gregory OConnor]

Having the injectors replaced (with reman inj) and pump rack
adjusted removed the white smoke on 50 degree am startups with my
old 300,000 mile dumptruck 3208. dropping 50%/50 of diesel and atf
in the fuel filter after 10,000 mile oil changes kept the smoke away
for another 100grand miles
