I got it to work right

And I don't think there's a fuel cutoff switch in the cab on our trucks either. I've seen them in cars, but I've never seen one in a Gen1 SD.

Flip the key into the On position and let the glow plug light go out, then let it just sit there until you hear the fuel pump shut off. Do that a few times, and try to crank it.


Thanks again for the info.. I ended up adding a fuel treatment to it.
No problem since...

I change the fuel filters, both of them at every second oil change. I have a 2006 6.0 F250. I randomly get the "Water in fuel" light. The truck only has 35000 miles on it. I dont recall seeing a water/fuel seperatorin the frame rail. Is it on, and/or close to the filter?
