How far are you away from Griffin Ga. If not far have truck towed to Garmons Diesel performance and have Jeff and the boys take a look at it.
They wont steer you wrong, and they know diesel.

Make sure that the batteries are fully charged, even then you may have to use a jump from anther truck. (Remember the IDM needs a minimum of 10.5 volts to fire the injectors) The system may just be full of air and it may take a lot of cranking to get it it fire off. Make sure that the oil level in the HPOP is full. We just did injectors in my truck and we had to crank it off and on for a minute or two to get her to cough then another couple of cranks for her to fire up.

What did the mechanic tell you? Did he give you a cause or diagnosis or did he just say "it done blew up?"
