Run a test on the charging system and let us know the results.

When cranking does the RPM gauge register?


DO NOT USE ETHER with the glow plug system working. You can and will blow the heads right thru the hood.

Are you getting any smoke out of the tail pipe when cranking?
What are your temps right now?
What mods have you done to the truck?
