My scenario is that im gone away to a ski resort right now and went to start my truck last night and she wasnt a happy camper. The glow plugs arent staying on long enough. maybe 5 seconds. it's -7 outside. Im leaving tomorow afternoon and have some wire in the truck so if there is a way to jump it to make the glow plugs stay on longer could someone please help a guy out!!

thanx in advance

So how did you make out? I hope you made it out without a major incident
