98 6.5 no start
Can't get my my 98 6.5 started It has the block heater and a magnetic oil pan heater on it and two brand new batteries! It barely wants to crank! I ordered new glow plugs but am not at home today so any help in the right direction would be nice for when I get home!

Always have batteries load tested when you pick them up. I've had way to many new, bad batteries in the last several years.
Testing for voltage doesn't do any good. I've had batteries that tested good for voltage before and after a non-start
A load tester is a cheap diagnostic tool to have around. It can pay for itself in reduced trips to the parts store.
I bought a couple of good quality load testers on Ebay for in the $30 range
I've heard that Harbor Freight also has a decent Load tester - cheap
