left key on
I left my key on my truck for about an hour. Came back to it and tried to start it and got nothing. My glow plugs glow but there is not even any cranking happening. Where should I look? Fuses, starter? Starter solenoid?

I think I would try jumping the two big terminals on the fender mounted starter relay, if it then starts you need to investigate further. If it does not run the starter, then I would either charge the batteries or connect heavy duty jumper cables to it from another vehicle and try again.

It started jumping over the fender mounted solenoid, but will not crank via the key. ignition switch or solenoid?

have someone turn the key, and check for power on the small wire at the solenoid.
if you have power at the solenoid, the solenoid is bad. if no power to the solenoid, then you need to backtrack to the neutral safety switch and then to the ignition switch.
