Another...Wont Start

Went out this morning to all power coming on, but turn the key and click click click click click. All needles on dash were jumping up and down.

Truck has been sitting since Saturday night and haven't had any issues starting until this morning. 48 degrees this morning as well.

I do have a bad glow plug... I am hoping this has nothing to do with it and is just coincidence.

Bad/poor connection on the battery(s) or weak batteries? I'd load test both batteries...separate from each other which means you need to pull the cables on one of the batteries. If both check out good, then I'd clean the terminals on both batteries and check it again. Just don't continue to start it if the batteries are weak, you'll smoke the FICM if you do.

+1 on weak batteries. my old truck would do that as I had a bad batterie in it. even if you charge it and it starts the draining battery will make your alternator work over time and could burn up your FICM with inconsitant voltages, like ZHILTON said above.
