Well... 5 min. of cranking over the past few days...
and no hint of combustion... Any other options?
(note to self: FILL Filter Bowl next time)

 

Check all fuses?
#22 under hood may have popped when you changed the filter. Fuel heater Shorted out?
Is the tach moving while cranking? CPS issue.

 

Are your batteries charged?. Its very important because this motors require a lot of battery power.

 

also check the level of the HPOP reservoir.

 

Sorry..Where is that located....?

 

Top front engine. I'm sorry don't have a pict. It takes an allen wrench to remove the plug. Oil should be about 1/2 inch from the top. Edit. found a pict

HPOP Res pictures from trucks photos on webshots
Keep the batteries charged and the starter cool and she should fire.

 

Try to fill the HPOP to the top. You need at least 10.5 volts for the IDM to fire the injectors,remember this if after heating glow plugs. Gotta be sure the batteries are full charged.

 

Took "alls" advise...
Batteries charged to 100 %
All fuses checked - none blown
Topped off HPOP reservoir...took 4oz.
Still cranked... w/o firing....

Unplugged / replugged all related connections..
Fired right up...

 

Glad to hear that. moral= always look for bad connections.

 

50 miles on it...
valley's dry.. guess it was the "weep" hole.
Thanks again.
