wont start light, do you mean wait to start light? My guess is your glow plug relay. How cold is it there? Cold start problem, or just anytime start problem? You can cross that relay over with a screw driver. Also those trucks have 2 relays, one for your intake heater, one for your glowplugs, cross the one for your glowplug one over. Should probably start then.

Was just going to mention relays. Or it's possible that all 8 of your glow plugs are out.

Didnt even think about that. No wait to start light can be blown ecm, or probably a fuse that runs it. Nice job finding that

BTW, if the problem reappears, you can reopen the thread or start a new one.
