Yeah Betsy & blowing smoke. Its definitely not cold down here, there is a lever like thing on what looks like on the fuel pump,I pushed it down like 30 x & it did not feel any different from the 1st couple of times I pushed it down,truck still did not start after doing that? Only with starting fluid starts it. 1 Guy said do not use starting fluid!! He said use silicone spray instead. I just nd a GD Mechanic by me 2 take a look at this truck & fix it 4 me, or show me how to fix it & I will try. I just can't afford to get my azz ripped off again or mess the truck up more. I appreciate all of ur help so far.. 
Okay. was there any pressure on the lever like if you press it down n let go does it come right back up on it's own.
The reason starting fluid is not recommended on these trucks is the grid heaters. They can cause pre-ignittion with starting fluid. If you need to use starting fluid unplug atleast 1 of the small wires on each your grid heater solonoids first so they won't come on. The wts light will kick on but the actual grids won't.

wish I could make it to florida for ya man... It sound like a possibility of the pump being out of time.... good possibility infact....... the injector...UUUhhhh it would just smoke more and be a little hard to start but not too bad... your fuel setting could be too low as well which would starve the motor of fuel...... the turbo having play is not a good thing to hear either... probably gonna need to invest in a turbo as well.... hows your fuel filter ?? how long has it been since its been replaced ??
