OMG! When your get past your teenage acne and your voice deepens you will look back at this post and think. Good lord I was a dumba$$ back then.

You have mechanical fuel pump. It doesnt pump unless the engine is turning
your truck doesnt have glow plugs. It has a grid heater.

Please please refrain from posting anymore until you atleast kinda know what you drive.

SMH

If the Weather is cold, try turning on key, and wait until all the alarms stop, and then turn if off, and wait a second, and turn it back on. Wait until all the alarms stop again, and then start. It should start alot easier then. Do not do this to many times, as it is hard on the HEATER GRID.
