What causes soot in a diesel fuel filter?
soot is not going to go back up the fuel rail and end up in a fuel filter. The primary cause of this black fluid is bacteria that loves to live in diesel fuel.

What’s the cold start on an ISX truck?
Both my ISX trucks, one an 09 and one a 07 (cm871 and cm870, respectively) have always had a rough start gallop on cold mornings. Anything below 30 and they’ll chug for a while. It’s been just normal for mine. Addition of a block heater or running the apu on such nights fixes it.

The fluctuation is the computer trying to correct the situation by varying the fuel. Monitor your coolant level closely. Newer ISX’s are known for the EGR Coolers going out. They usually start leaking internally very slow and gradually get worse over like 3 months before final failure.
