start issues

The other monring I couldn't start my truck lots of white comming out of the tail pipe. Starter turned over well, cranked untill batteries died. When I re charged batteries I couldn't get the the starter to turn over. No clicking noise. I checked posts all clean, I checked both the batteries and they are working well and only 3 months old. I did replace the relay for the glow plugs which I believe is the original issue.
Any ideas out there?

lots of white smoke indicates excess cold fuel or coolant in the cylinders. prob hydrolocked it. good thing it didn't turn then you would have bent a couple rods

If you cranked it over on the starter for more than around 20secs at a time without allowing the starter to cool you may have damaged the starter.
It could also be that the fender mounted starter relay is bad, try jumping the two large terminals on it ans see if the starter then runs.
What engine is it? There is a specific page here for every type.
