Just wanted to pass this along to those that are driving on very high 
mileage diesel injectors....... change them out you will not believe 
the difference.  I found a place on line with the nozzles for a tad 
over $9 so I bought a set and put them in today.  I can't believe the 
difference.  Wow!  I think I have solved my smoking startup problem and 
noisy cold starts.
Now for a slight problem.  It has been raining here off and on for a 
couple of days and quite heavily today.  The last time it rained, I 
noticed small rivulets of water on the back of the cab.  I assumed they 
were coming from the rear window so I waited until the next dry day and 
put a bead of silicone under the gasket between it and the body and 
around the metal frame of the window itself.  Anyway, today, I noticed 
that the water is actually coming out of the 3 "vent" looking things on 
the back wall.  How would water get into this area to drain out?  could 
the seams around the base of the roof be leaking?  Ideas, comments and 
shear speculations welcomed.  TIA Hayden
