blue spring upgrade/no start

Hi
I did a blue spring upgrade, went to start the truck and it made a funny noise instead of the usual glow plug and hum. and THEN click click, click. NO START.

iS THERE SOMETHING THAT i MIGHT HAVE DONE WRONG OR IS IT JUST A COINCIDENCE? Or would it turn over and not start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

it's possible, never happened before, i"ll run a test on the batteries tomorrow. The lights on that truck go out after 5 minutes or so if you leave the door open. In my experience it could be anything.
Thanks

Did you do the key cycle several times to purge the air from the system?

Check your battery cables, if the starter just clicks and the batteries are good, try giving the starter a couple of whacks with a blunt object. If it comes un hung it may be time for a new starter in the near future. Also above post.
