So my dads truck (late 99 350 SC SB 7.3PS 150k) is having problems starting, he has replaced GRP, when he got home from a weekend trip it would start to turn over then stop, like it was trying to compress liquid in the cylinders, he turned the motor over with a breaker bar and got it started with a BIG puff of white smoke, and now the longer it starts the harder it is to start. coolant levels seem fine so we don't think its going somewhere its not supposed to. not sure what else would help break it down,

Keep and eye on the crank case level to make sure you're not filling it up with diesel fuel.

Get it running well and nice and warm, then shut it off, cycle the key a ton of times to keep the fuel pump running and then Bar (not crank) it over to see if you've filled the cylinders with anything.

Hydrolocking is a bad deal.

The more you do it on the starter the better your chances of really F'ing something up.
