Good evening guys!

You always have been easily confused!

Ok funny guy, who invited you to the party? When you hit 235K call me or a tow truck. Hey Troy, do you do road trips.

Wonderful ... got home tonight to find the batteries COMPLETELY DEAD on the truck. One of the kids left a light on. Evidenced by the hat that has been missing for a week and a light I rarely use.

I jumped it with the van for about an hour before Katie got home with a charger.

I've got a 250A boost charger sitting on it right now. So far no luck. The glow plugs are def. kicking in, but no luck. It acted like it was going to start a while ago, but not since.

Always happens when it's f***ing cold out.

I've got some Diesel911 if something is gelled up.

Any other suggestions? Getting it into the garage would be near impossible. If I could, I would at least be able to turn on the Kerosene heater to warm things up.

Just a quick post by. Been up since 4:30 (thats 0430 to you crazy military time people) and I am getting a little sleepy. Thanks for all the well wishes for Lynn.

Nice post Tom. I hope it works. I don't know what will happen for a chapter leader otherwise. We like it here.

I would plug it in overnite and put a trickle charger on it overnite also. I bet it will fire right off in the morning!

Good night Cory!
It's been plugged in since this morning. I've never been convinced that the block heater really works. It's NEVER even close to warm after being plugged in.
