I am having a no start issue. It will crank and it sounds like a old time carurbrator that is flooded! I thought the fuel might of jelled but it has been inside 65 Deg. for 4 hours in a shop. I have it pluged in and put 2 new batteries in this morning... What do I do, Where do I start? I know the glow plugs are weak, but usually pluged in it starts fine.

By the sounds of that, its a high pressure oil problem (pump, stc fitting, stand pipe, etc) Its quite labor intensive. Do you have your extended warranty still?

Thats what i figured. Is it possible that it could of jelled up and needs to thaw? the temps have been in the teens winds steady about 20mph and 8 inches of snow.

Doubt it because of the lack of oil pressure.

Vince, I tried to start the truck this morning and there WAS oil pressure... I am trying to find a shop open on sunday up here to get it on a machine so I can figure out what is going on. Does anyone know of any shops that are open on sunday in KC? If not, what can I try? Is there a relay or something that is common that I can buy and try?
