Two things i've learned from mine, make dang sure the glow plugs are getting power ( i thought mine were when they weren't) and make sure they work. The best way is to pull them and use an ohm (multimeter) meter. Next best is to un plug all of them and test them with a multimeter. Last option is unplug them all, test light from the pos battery terminal to the 'bullet' on the glow plug.

That and check that your timing marks are lined up on the pump and she should start.

This is all my $.02... I hope you get her going Morgan...

Found out my IP is too retarded in timing, I'm gonna advance it tomorrow and hope that gets the job done.


And once again I will NOT use any starting fluid!

These trucks are meant to start without it!

That'll do it...line them marks up to start with, then adjust it from there, or get it timed at a good shop...

Glad you figured it out!
