Get a new truck?
Start with hooking up your glow plugs the right way! Through the proper relay. Make sure ALL your plugs work. Locate oil leak by cleaning affected area, and if needed, coat clean area with foot powder, start truck and look for the powder to turn brown. Walla, your leak. Fix it.
Last bit of advice...get a new mechanic BTW, if a reputable shop rebuilt your engine, have THEM fix it or pay someelse to do it right!
