    could be water in diesel - when was the fuel filter replaced last?

    the front injector pump seal is a common fail on the 2.8

    thought they were alike... but just googled there and it appears it's not an issue with the the 2.5

    sorry ... ME BAD

    blue smoke usually means burning oil, is there a blow from dip stick?, if it was white smoke means not getting enough fuel, and black smoke its getting to much fuel, they all smoke a bit when cold.
