At least it's not an Armillo with the factory flairs. They are installed in a way that your not
getting the fender well liner out without removing the flair. That stupid thing is held in with
the thin dubble sided body mounting tape with the lip over far enough so that you can't just
pop the liner out of place.

Will I still see fluid coming out even if the truck has been sitting all night? Just pulled the glow plugh and tried to bump it with the key off using the jumper wire. Didn't really get anything noticeable. Going to pull the passenger side again and test that again

Doing it that way your not pressurizing the fuel system that would show fuel bypassing the injector or seals. And without firing the injectors excess fuel won’t be passing through a cracked tip if that’s the cause.
Just cranking over to expose what cylinder has excessive fuel can only be done after the issue and with initial glow plug removal. Once that fuel has been expelled, it will stay dry.
At this point with prior cranking and glow plugs our my course of action would be key on to pressurize the fuel system, then hand or jumper crank to see if any o-rings and washers are bypassing. No result, then key on to pressurize and key crank to get the injectors to flow, look for more then usual misting out of specific cylinders.
Other then that its button it all out and redevelop the issue or take it to the dealer to us an IDS to check relative compression and uncompensated injector balance.
Just my opinion.

Well got it all back together and it will crank but no fire. Probably batteries are low. Gonna charge them in the morning. I am seriously at the point with this truck that I am going to work for the next two days on my old 79 Cherokee and see if I can't get it running if I do then the truck gets parked and I will start tearing down my engine and take the next 6 months maybe more. That all depends on cash. And put it all back together using all quality parts and doing upgraded parts in the all the necessary spots. I'm tired of trying to keep the engine going and every few months having to tear this off or that off bull****. I've been chasing **** that was done by the shop for the dealer I bought it from. They had done a re build. Sure but as I have found these guys didn't know Jack about anything. I can say I have learned how to work n this truck and am very comfortable tearing it down. I just hope I can get the
Cherokee going or dam close by Sunday night. Or I might just have to tow it to the dealership and have them diagnosis it and tow it back to my house and put more duct tape on the old girl till I get the Cherokee going well
