It seemed too fast to me.
When I first checked it the idle was at 760.
I was able to go down to 676 beyond the adjustment spring no longer has any function.
Idle is around 550 rpms give or take 25

Your 6,5l GEP engine is not supposed to run at 700 rpm ? +- 25
Drop in temperature, I had a bad cold start with white smoke.
Symptom of an inoperative glow plug, only three out of eight were still working.
I removed the Chinese headlights.
Undertook the interior and exterior reconstruction of the engine cover.
I have made progress in my research.
Some additional date for my truck.

I'm still not sure if the engine year of manufacture is 2003 or 2009.
I don't understand the letter...
I want to change the glow plugs, is there a better performance? anti swelling etc ...
Current glow plugs:

I prefer to restore my radiator in the winter.
Once painted it will retain much less heat.
