Thanks

Try starting it 60-90 seconds after the Wait To Start (WTS) light goes out. The Glow Plugs (GP) are energized even though the WTS light went out....up to 2 minutes.

Still no start? Take a screwdriver and cross out the 2 large posts on the Glow Plug Relay (GPR)...for about 30-60 seconds. Jump in the truck and start it, ignore the WTS light.
If it fires up and runs OK... you need a GPR.
If it fires up but has a miss then clears up you need a GP or 2.
