On which one of the five engine options would you like the instructions? There is a 4.3L V6, a 5.0L and 5.7L Gasoline V8, and a 6.5L Diesel and 6.5L Turbo Diesel option.
Black smoke is too much fuel. My guess would be that there is an injector that is stuck open draining the pressurized fuel into a cylinder or several cylinders. And that is a considerable amount of fuel. And it would account for the hard start because there isn't any fuel being pumped into the other injectors until the pump builds the pressure back up.
This engine 'loves' glow plugs! One goes and the others try to handle the amps. Change them and you will have no probs! Other than that, I feel this is about the best diesel truck made!
