Checked fuse 22 and it is good. Jumped glow plug relay for 60 seconds. Still no start. Drained battery cranking it so much, I am going to advanced and having them replace it. Going to add diesel with an additive. What kind of additive do you recommend? I think its low on fuel.

Ok guys I got the truck running. I went back to advanced and exchange the battery and also bought a yellow top optima for the auxilary side. Put them on warmed the GPs and cranked on it. At first it wouldnt start but the she finally fired up and smoked something awful. It stoped after about a mile and has ran fine ever since. I went and put fuel in her and brought her home. I am still gonna order the stancor GPR just to be on the safe side. Thanks again guys for all your help, without you all I wouldnt have known where to start.

well my truck dont need alot of battery power to get it to fire, my batteries seem to drain pretty quick when i let it sit and i went to fire my truck up last night after sitting for 2-3 weeks. I told myself no way is it gonna fire, it was spinning so slow and was about to give up and vroom it fired up. and this is in 15 degree weather with no block heater.

I am still having trouble. I brought my truck home that night and it ran fine. I parked it and let it sit a couple days. Got in it to go get some hay and the mother f***** wouldn't start. I plugged it up and left to go eat got back about 5 hours later and unplugged it and it started right up. I got the stancor GPR in last night. Have you all gotten any more ideas as what this could be? I am going to put the GPR on after work.
