Truck won't start
For the past few days when I got in and stsrted me truck the radio would flick of and back on once or twice before the wait to start light would go off. I figured it might be the glow plugs. Then is started turning over a little slow when started. Tonight I go out to run get diesel and everything flickers and the lights are dim. Lots of clicking and the engine will not even turn over. I checked the batteries and only had ten volts. so I unhooked one and it is charging. Is ther e a way to unhook the glow plug relay? Or is that even it?

Why does this type thing happen on Sunday night when my brother has my code reader, half my tools and I have used every bit of energy some other project.
I know I should not have waited to check out my truck.

I finally got my truck started this morning. Went to Oreillys and they sold me two new batteries. Their machine said both were bad. I had to get to work so I did not have the alternator tested but so far no problems. Thanks for the advice. I had much worse problems in my head.
