I would say that you are going to need a quality scanner to first diagnose the stepper motor.

I think you might be the victim of leaking filter manager O rings.
The fuel heater in the bottom and the water in fuel sensor in the side could be letting fuel leak out overnight causing air intrusion and hard starting.
That or you may not have properly working glow plugs?
There are a great many PMD purchasing optionsdo some searching and then report what you find-then better advice can be given on each vendor.

I have two batteries they were both side post and the new battery was top post so i cut the exsisting cable and bought top post ends tightend everything. Up and i put a brand new glow plug relay and replaced a bad glow plug and still no start it turns over but wont crank up the glow plug light comes on as a solid light then blinks 5 times or so never done that before i also checked all glow plug wires to make sure i had power and i did also had power at relay i just dont understand could my pmd just finally died?

okay i got the truck to start finally but the starter silonoid started smoking really bad i opened it up the ground wire was melted the inside of it smelled like an electrical fire is it possible that starter wasent getting the correct voltage because the siloniod was going out maybe thats why it was taking so long to start and wouldnt that also give me a faulty ground if it was severly melted??
