No chip in the key on my '06 F250. I'm thinking it shoulda kicked with the ether if the pistons/valves were working. Be careful with the ether on this engine, the glow plugs can light it if you've been trying to start and they warm up good.

This truck got to much wrong with it to start I mean if your bypassing the Ingnition switch and just sending 12 volts to the starter so it will crank the moter thats not going to cut it all
The alternator being out is another majoir problem the truck so computer controlled
In therory yes the either should have done the trick
IMO the only way to know if its good or not to do a compression test at each cylinder
Who knows an injector could have burned a hole in the piston

Im pretty shure they check Compression threw the Glow plug hole
just another thought is remove the Oil Filler cap and see if you get alot of Blowby while cranking it over. should have some vaccum there if theres blowby probably something majoir
