-BOTH BATTS ARE BRAND NEW AND CHARGED FULLY
-TERMINALS ARE BRAND NEW
-THE COMPLETE GLOWPLUG SYSTEM IS NEW AND IS WORKING
-ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS WORKING

ALSO.....



long-story-short.... Replaced Alternator, then voltage regulator went out causing everything in the electrical system to be fried. Replaced everything in the electrical system (EVERY THING WORKS NOW).-still no start-found out the shut-off solenoid went out. So I replaced the IP. Stater went out when bleedinf fuel lines, so I replaced the stater.

Don't tell me it a fuse, relay, or fusable link. ALL of them have been replaced. AND TESTED!!!!!!!!!


It also WILL NOT start on starting fluid or WD40.

I was driving down the highway AT NIGHT when the voltage regulator went out- causing every light to go out. I took the next exit, 800 feet away, and the engine died on the off ramp. NEVER TO START AGAIN.
