That was exactly it! I replaced the starter and now it turned on. I'll also look into the block heater. Now I just need to see if it'll start up tomorrow morning when its cold. Thank you all for your help.

 

Great to hear! Have you noticed the starter getting slower? Is there a noticeable difference with the new one? Or do you just think it was drawing way too much current?

 

Actually the amps was not enough and I saw that half the starter motor was burned. The truck starts right away now though with the new starter.

Also I have a question about something I noticed. I've been driving the truck for 3 years now and it seemed like the truck had no power. About 6 months ago, the turbo started makes lots of noise. It only happens when I push the gas, but not when my foot is off. In other words, it's only consistent with the truck giving gas. Ever since then, the truck seems to have a lot more power now. Do you think the turbo is breaking?

 

I would start a new thread so that this one doesn't get mucked up, but have you pulled the intake off at the turbo and checked for play? If you grab the shaft(not running) for the compressor wheel, you should not have any in and out play, and very little side to side/up and down, as long as it doesn't hit the housing.

 

Glad you got it fixed. Starter for that other one was not even on my radar when we were talking about it. Once we eliminated all the others, we checked it 1st thing one morning. It sounded fine at during the day at 60 and did not really sound off when it was cold in the am. Just pulled too much voltage.

 

Mine does this occasionally, I take a shop rag, soak it with gasoline, set it next to the aircleaner inlet, then crank the engine. Soon as the fumes hit the cylinders, it fires right up. Better on it than starting fluid.
