Giving up, now need mechanic in southern NH area

So I've tried to problem solve my no start issue with no luck. Now I need to bring it some where. Does anybody know of a diesel mechanic in the Nashua, New Hampshire area. Or it's off to Ford it goes and so does more of my money. Please help.

Do you have a thread somewhere with your issue?

Here's the link to my thread. Pretty much the short story is truck wouldn't start (would just crank) one day, next day did start, drove to my brothers house, went to leave and truck wouldn't start again. And that's where it has sat for the last week.

Hope you can help

I posted to your other thread. You need 10.5 volts at the PCM while cranking. If your batteries are weak then the truck will never fire up. Charge the batteies one at the time by removing the ground on one of the batteries and then try to start it again. Wether it starts or not...take both batteries and have them load tested. They need to be freshly charged for the load test but one start cycle will be ok.
If they are bad then you have found your problem. I said it in the other post, it will cost you some time and electricity to charge your batteries. Use a good charger and not a tiny two or four amp charger.
